I could have cut down a tree on our property and saved a few bucks.
Wife did not want to deal with a real tree.
So she orders one from haymaker and pay's $ 400.00 for a f***ing fake tree.
Tries to lighten the blow telling me it was marked down 50 percent. :facepalm:

That tree though will look so nice with all those presents Santa Lou buys to put under it.

Real trees are fantastic. First the fragrance throughout the whole house. Second, they are easier to setup and take down than a fake. Third they are dirt cheap, head over to Menard's and you can get them for under $20.

Or you could buy a fake tree for $80 and use it for 15 years. :shrug:

Last time we got a real tree I sneezed for the entire month of December. Our old fake tree was getting a little ragged, so I picked up a new one this year at Lowes on a Black Friday deal. $400 tree for like $200. It's pretty nice.

Or better yet, stop spending millions of dollars stuffing your house with obscene garbage because of a particular fake day on the calendar.

2> SO much easier to setup and take down. No need to find storage, no need to get it back in the box just so. No need to bring the weight to the proper room and back again. Sorry we disagree.
3> The trees we had gotten in the past were awesome at Menard's. Zero issues. Some people just like spending too much I guess. Had both $100 and $12. I'll take the extra cash and you keep spending away on one item.

Sorry buddy, I like trees I need a ladder to trim. I know you still need a ladder for your 5 ft tree so point is moot but just sayin...

Bought a 7' fake tree with 450 lights.

The sign at the display tells you how many lights are recommended for a tree based on height. They recommend 700 lights for a 7' tree.

So....I bought a pre-lit tree, and still need to add lights???


That seems really low. The 7.5' one I bought has 1,000.

My 5-year-old Cousin is into FunkoPops and Fortnite. Picked this up for him at Target.
