This is our house, too

We always had real trees up until the year we discovered I was highly allergic (after we had already cut it down and set it up in our house - lucky for our church, they got a free tree that year!)

I love our fake Christmas tree. It's almost an antique - my grandmother bought it back when my mom was a kid the day after Christmas (it's 32 years old). It stands probably around 7 feet tall - it just about touches the roof of our living room - it has "snow covered" tips, and the branches are color coded, and we've used it so much for so many years that the grooves for each branch on the pole are pretty worn out...we've got to see if we can find someone to "make" us a new pole, because you better believe I'll have this tree when I have my own home!
