They always had a fake tree and I hated it. I'll never go back to plastic again.

      - you can get trashbags for trees, they are like tarps, lay tree over, roll it up and out you go -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 12:07

        Two big garbage bags will do the trick. You'll still have a bit of a mess in the apt. from putting it in - Krusty Oct 25, 12:04
  - My issue with real trees is that the tree lots are frickin' insane and prices are crazy. Around here anyway. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 11:54 4
    - I think I paid somewhere between $60 and $80 the last few years. -- nm - Krusty Oct 25, 11:56
    - IKEA! $20 trees. (if you buy them from other lots the nice ones start at about $40) -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 11:55 2
      - Wow. I'm going to see if our local IKEA sells trees. Thanks Andie. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 12:05
