I couldn't resist the tree
 

After attending a lovely quilt guild luncheon today I couldn't resist; I came home and finally put up the tree.:)

Hahaha...I will put the same one up here this year! To funny Jan! Merry Christmas!

Rofl, how did you ever think of that?

Jan, I think this is a great Tree! No watering needed and smells good and easy to take down.

Fantastic!!!!!!

It will last forever!

that's hysterical

Laughing as I haven't put up a tree yet!

Oh, my! That made me laugh!

LOL, love it!! and a lot easier to get down!!

ROFLMAO! You got me!

I haven't put mine up yet...thanks for an easy way out ;-)

I love how you decorated your tree - hope its not too much trouble when you take it down. haha...love it.

Jan, your posts are always informative...now I know what to do for next year's tree. ROFL!!

That is VERY funny. I do hope you are kidding!!:D

And the best part is that it doesn't drop needles! Thanks Jan

Gosh, I wish you'd have posted this earlier, would have saved me some work, more time for quilting!

Guess that's what I'll have to do--wasn't planning to put up a tree this year. :)

Best laugh I've had all week!!! I do not have a tree up yet - mind if I steal your idea?

Oh, my!! My 1st laugh of the day.... Love it. I didn't put up a tree last or this yr 'cause my little ones are in another country & its just not the same when little ones are'nt around. Did put out Christmas stuff around house, on door & porch, little spirit there. Did buy & wrap gifts for them & mailed.

OMG! So easy to put up and easeir to take down! Or...keep up all year long! Better yet@! Thanks for the chuckle!!

I got a good laugh from your tree idea.

Even that is too much tree at my house. :D

oh and it smells great! haha

I'm jealous -- It's bigger then mine

Not a all!! :D

Too funny! I might have to make a run to the auto parts store for my tree! ROFL

DH and I both laughed out loud at this. So funny.

After my father passed away my mother refused to put up a tree - which was funny because they had a fake tree they bought because one year the weather was so bad and they were both sick and so after Christmas they bought the tree and it never came out of the box. But I had found this metal item that you put together and it held 24-36 ornaments. It was strong enough to hold the quilt balls and angels I had made for her. But she just wasn't interested. After she passed away we found the fake tree they bought, the metal structure I bought and all the ornaments. She even had 3 or 4 nativity scenes. She did compromise for a few years and came down to visit my sister and I.

The first year she spent Christmas at our house then New Years with my sister. Then she found out they don't watch football and so after that she started at my sister's home and then came to my house.

When she quit traveling I paid a local friend to buy her a little 24inch live tree that was decorated and set in the living room, then after the holidays the friend took it somewhere and planted it. So she got the smell of a tree and none of the work.

Maybe if I had come up with that idea as a Christmas tree she may have hung it up.

I will have to remember this for the next time the kids bug me when I don't feel like putting the tree up thank you

love it !!!!

Ha!!! Good one - I'll have to share that with my friends at work!

Haven't put up a tree for about 20 years, but this one, I can handle. Thanks for the idea and the giggles. Sandy

Jan now the question is: do you have to hold your nose for the smell ? LOL

This thing *has* to be real, it's so stinky!

That's funny!!! My husband put our tree up the other day. No ornaments on it yet the grandkids will be over Christmas eve day so I will have them put them on. The ornaments will all be on the bottom of the tree, but who cares the kids will have fun.
