Last year, for the first time, we had a real Christmas tree :)
It was wonderful
We had a Nordmann fir, and although the needles were falling towards the end, it still looked good, despite going up on the 1st December and staying up til 12th night.
But it didnt have the right smell, according to DH. And I concede that he is right.
For that, I think we need to go for a traditional, old-school Norway spruce. But as I understand it, they will lose their needles quicker.
So, my question is - do you have a "traditional' type christmas tree, and if so, when does it go up, when does it come down and does it keep its leaves (within reason, I expect it to lose some)?
I love putting the tree up as soon as possible, and am loathe to compromise on that. But I don't want a nice-smelling tree that looks rubbish two weeks before christmas!
Thank you [santa]
