Going to buy this tonight:

It’s 9 feet tall.

So stoked.

I have never done a fake tree before. When living with my parents, we always cut them down. When living with my sister, we’ve always either gone to cut one down or bought one at the lot (or Target!) Last year, we didn’t even get one, it was horribly depressing. The year before that we lived on the third floor, and had this great living room with high ceilings and wanted to take advantage. We went to chop a big sucker down. Well, putting it up in the stand was NOT fun. It was gorgeous once we got it straight. Taking it down, was a headache, to say the least. The pine needles were everywhere places, the tree never even passed through! Well, I ended up breaking my perfectly good vacuum that year.

I LOVE the smell of Christmas trees! and I have definitely knocked faux tress in the past… but, until I have good man around to do the dirty work. I’m going fakey. Hey if it goes well, I may stay fake forever!  I found this 9 foot  pre lit kirkland signature one used, so it was cheaper! I can have the BIG tree I want, with less clean up.

And, I bought a  pine scented reed diffuser that I plan to hide behind or inside the tree somewhere… hehe. tricky….
