We’ve had our tree up for a week and it is so damn dry already that I’m concerned to even turn the lights on that are strung across its quickly drooping, dried branches.

I was even more concerned that we did not have a squirrel ornament to hang on said crunchy, almost dead branches.

Etsy has everything, you guys.

Let’s discuss Christmas trees.

We had a faux pre-lit tree for years, but the lights quit working on it last year so we switched to real.

Faux tree pro: It doesn’t die ten minutes within setting it up and doesn’t shed.

Faux tree con: It’s fake and does not smell like holiday cheer.

Real trees or fake trees?
