The deadline to submit your application is Oct 6. We always make a day of it. It’s pretty fun to go driving through the forest searching for your tree. They may not be as pretty as the ones on the lots, but they last much longer and it’s a fun experience. Or, maybe I just watched this movie too much when I was a kid.

Phoebe: So, what happens to the old guys?
Joey: Well, they go into the chipper.
Phoebe: Why do I have a feeling that's not as happy as it sounds?

used to on occasion back home - would go to the tree farm, pick one out and hack it down - slightly better price, better selection, but not a world of fun laying in the snow with a saw
It's a hassel now a days, it's really hard to get picked. My family and I used to do it all the time when it wasn't so trendy. I'd like to get me a tree from Colorado, now them's some nice pickins

Glad to see some people still have a real Christmas spirit. Our kid is grown and isn't married, so we have no grandchildren to celebrate with. We still decorate the whole house, put up a large Christmas tree and put lights and decorations on the outside. I guess I'll never grow up.

I think that is FABULOUS! I am single, but I decorate like a fiend! I am having a difficult time going through all my holiday decorations and deciding what will make the cut and what won't.
I've had a fake family Christmas (meaning a fake tree) for the past 5 years. The tree I have is REALLY nice and it rocks because my cat can't climb up it and knock it down. But some of my best Christmas memories as a kid were driving around in the car with the fam and looking for places that were selling trees. Fun times!
I thought we were not allowed to use the word "Christmas" anymore. This is a true story, I got an email the other day at work about asking for volunteers for our Halloween and Christmas parties. The one problem in the email, instead of saying Halloween and Christmas, they used fall and winter events. It is unbelievable. We are not allowed to put up witches, jackolanterns or even a graveyard, due to the fact it might offend some people. We are allowed to have a pumpkin as long as it does not have a face.
Don't even get me started about Christmas. We can't put up anything that even remotely represents Christmas at work. We can put up snowflakes and snowmen. Anything that is wintery.
This is getting so out of hand it's ridiculous. When did all this "you can't say Merry Christmas" start? It must of been in the past 10 years or so. Soon, we won't be able to say "Happy Birthday."

wow.
i remember back when i was in elementary school (mid 90's) we called the halloween and christmas parties "fall" and "winter" parties.
but...
we still did halloween and christmas things (ie: we read "The Polar Express")

Growing up we had a huge fake tree and I thought it looked pretty. No shedding either!

Because it isn't a tree. It doesn't feel like a tree. It doesn't smell like a tree. It certainly doesn't look like a tree. You can spot a fake one immediately.
A fake tree is a christmas sculpture made of wire and plastic
And I actually like the sheddings. When you vacuum them up they make the whole house smell like pine.
