[...] whether to get a real tree or a fake tree. We’ve always had real trees but they always fall over on me, can’t stand vacuuming the mess, and they always die like 2 weeks before Christmas. [...]

O no! That is a terrible story; yet you write it so well! I snorted several times reading it

I hope your tree stays up for Christmas day!

Thanks for a funny post! You made my day. *snort*

This has never happened, but I would be so frustrated and would throw a fit if any of my ornaments were broken in the process. Is it just weighter on one side? Maybe if you spun it towards a wall on the heavier side it wouldn’t do that again? I don’t know? But, I do agree that the smell of a real tree is wonderful and I wish we could fit one in our house. We had to get a super slim fake this year just to be able to have a tree at all.

oohhhh – so sorry. Yes, as much as I love real trees, I do appreciate the ease and stability of the fake versions.

hope you kiss and make up.

LOL! Our Christmas tree is a puny fake one. But I’ve said why cant we just put it up on Christmas Eve. I’m chasing Kelsie and three cats out of it all day!!

We had that problem for a couple years until we took some heavy twine, and put it around the truck about 3/4 up the tree, knotted the ends together and then used one of those screw in cup hook things into our moulding to hold the tree up. Worked BEAUTIFULLY!

OMG–I feel your pain! The same thing happened to us a couple years ago–we had just finished decorating and the tree came down hard. All the kids and I were standing amongst the broken ornaments crying!

I hope this time youre stays up!! But it’s lucky you caught it on the way down!

oh boy, this has happened to me before. The key to success here is to really really screw that sucker in there, twist those turny things until they are practically inside the stupid tree trunk, its hard, and it takes forever but should hold it.

OMG, are you sure we don’t share the same Christmas tree?? LOL… although as you know, it’s my stupid ass cat that constantly knocks the tree down! We have it screwed in with one of those heavy duty bases, but since it’s not a real tree, it doesn’t work quite well. I actually had the crazy thought on my way to work that I would throw away my crappy tree and buy a REAL one and start all over again, but I don’t know if I’ll have the guts to do that! LOL… you’re quite the momma!!
