For our second Christmas together, and after we had moved in to our first townhome, we purchased an artificial Christmas tree from Thanksgiving Point back when they had their fabulous Emporium. I have loved the tree ever since. I did not come prelit, but I added lights myself and leave them on from year to year. It has been a great tree for us and has many more Christmases in it.
This year, Misha and I were walking in to King Soopers and saw the cutest little Christmas trees and took two seconds to decide to buy one. It claimed a place in the living room. I had hoped it would smell more pine-y, but love the look of it.
