    This year's tree

    For many years we have bought our Christmas tree from one of the local boy scout troops. They always have fresh and beautiful Frazier furs from North Carolina. We didn't break the tradition this year, but it broke the bank.........$160.00

    Once you have seen a house turned to charcoal at Christmas from a dry tree, a fake one is all that you will put in your own home. Been there done that

    We use a fake one at the store. We're there almost every day so why not put it there.

    Because it can lift your spirits.

    Reminder of better times in the past, perhaps, but the winter is dark and cold. It is cheery to put up a tree with some lights. Surely there was some point in your life when things were good - this can be a reminder.
