Lol, I was gonna make a thread just like this only dedicated to Christmas lights. I'll post some pics as soon as I'm not lazy enough to take them.

My family had a fake tree for a year or two before my brother and I finally got sick of it enough to go out and buy a real tree ourselves.
But a little story about Xmas trees... It might of been before I was even born, my parents got a tree one year, the kind that still has the routes on it. After that Christmas, they planted it on the side of my house. Today, it stands taller than the house (which is two stories). I like to tell people, "See that tree? It was a Christmas tree in our house one year." Here's the best part about, it might end up in the house again! My dad was thinking about taking it down, so I suggested to cut the top of it off and use it as a Christmas tree again. It'll probably happen next year. I just think it's funny that it will have been in the house twice.
That is a cool story. How do the ones with roots work? I would imagine the root systems would be huge.
I'm not too sure. I believe the roots are contained in a mesh bag. I think you have to sit the tree in more of a pot rather than a tree stand. The roots can suck up water through the bag. Then assuming you kept the tree alive inside, you can plant it when you're done.
You guys know I am a sucker for posting pictures on this site. Here is the tree and our kids. Credit to my wife for doing all, but one ornament on the tree. I was too busy taking pictures - I ended up with 5 that were good enough to keep.
Our orange cat found his way into this picture as he usually does in the pics I post on this website, can you find him?

Yes, that cat IS wearing a diaper. No, he does NOT have his period

I am a vet tech and my wife and I used to live above a vet hospital where all the stray animals somehow ended up. Life had the last laugh, however, as we now live in a small 1 bedroom apartment.
