I love the smell of a real Christmas tree ......

[Lilyloo]

Very nearly decided on an artificial tree this year but at the last minute stuck to the real one , my house smells lovely

I have been thinking that today too. The whole of downstairs smells like Christmas

Me too but because I love my DD even more there will be no real tree here, ever.

Ahhhh i love real christmas trees, fake ones are pants

I love my real tree and can smell it all over the house.

It's just that smell , the hassle of choosing it , collecting it , needles in the car and the house , watering it etc etc But nothing can recreate that Christmas smell ( and the sticky hands when you put the baubles on )

I have said this to DH about 15 times this evening and I think he's getting a bit fed up of me sniffing the air.

We got a real tree today (for the last 17 years we've had an artificial one which is fine) but today we went to the forest and picked our tree. It's lovely!!! and it's all gold and tasteful and beautiful

Bean ours is most definately not tasteful or beautiful but smells good

Sorry, it wasn't meant as a boast - just love having a real tree... And the smell is fab!

We have an artificial but I hanker for a real tree. I go around the garden centres sniffing the trees to get that real smell of Christmas! Next year I am promising myself a real tree

beansandspud - you went to a forest, was it pre cut or did they cut it down for you right there and then when you chose it.

Zeeky go do it
Bean am only at you having a tasteful tree mine started that way before the dc's but they add something every year

They were pre-cut much to DH's disappointment as he really thought he would be wielding an axe!

Dam i really was hoping that you would walk through a forest of trees and cut down your own ( i watched them on Jon and Kate plus 8 years ago doing just that, America may be a little more slack on their health and safety rules)
