Christmas trees, I mean, Santa's helpers aside.

We cut ours down on Sunday, but my wife keeps saying that she wants a fake tree. She already has a 6' fake one, it's not where we put our presents.

I'm holding out for the real thing, every year. Mad Razzer Cool

Fake ones are firmer and stand up better....wait....we're talking about trees???

My bad! Real only. Well actually in both instances real are better


We are the people our parents warned us about.

We've used both, and while I like the real ones, artificial are easier to manage. No needles to clean up, never need watering, easy teardown.

As for Santa's helpers, I like real better, but, as they say, beggers can't be choosers.

I'm for real only, leave the fake ones out of it.

One of my wife's friends had implants, had to have 'em replaced once or twice. She let us feel the last set, pretty heavy and super firm, not at all llike a real breast.

The helper on the extreme left has fakes, I think, and her right nipple looks like it is off center. Anyone else see that?

As for trees, I like going and cutting a tree down, and I like the smell. It's a little more trouble, but the best things are, right? Fake just doesn't do it for me.

Had a real tree for all the years when the kids were little. The wife got a couple cats some years ago, and they kept climbing in the real ones, and tipping them over.

We switched to artificial a few year back, and they don't bother that. Nice looking tree too. I do miss the smell of the real one, but not fight that stupid tree stand and trying to get the thing to stand up straight! I have been helping my elderly parents with theirs, and they still get a real one, so that's my fix.

As for the "other" real or fake, at this point I'm with LKS. Beggars can't be choosers. And brothers, I am begging!

Yeah, cats would be a concern for us too.

As for implants - my wife wants to get breast reduction surgery. She wants to be perky again I guess.

Here's an article on the WSJ website about this very topic (trees that is).

Tree stands are, by and large, the most frustrating and inefficient tools around. Trying to get someone to hold the tree straight while you move around and twist each of the screws tight enought to hold the tree, then praying that it will hold it in place, is ridiculous.

I've found a better way, took me about a minute, adapted my existing stand for less than $.50. Gotta try to get this to market. Cool
