Well who's gone and gotten one yet? And how much?

The place we got ours last year aren't doing them, so went to a farm on the edge of town, got a six odd foot tree for $36 which I thought as cheapish as the place up the road were doing shite ones for $40 and around $80 for a decent size, whilst another had knee high ones for $40, and the decent ones, which were lovely started at $80-120

Long way up from the $20 tops we'd pay up in Maine.

11ft, $109 at Home Depot. Got it yesterday. Must be good, it's drunk about 5 litres of water already

ONE HUNDRED AND NINE F**KIN DOLLARS for a christmas tree

Someone saw you coming

We went out last night, found some beautiful but only 5ft ones for $34.00 then travelled to a Pricechopper 12 miles away and found the best 7ft tree I ever saw for $34.99...... It is now installed in our living room

A good friend of us always goes to his gradparents' land and chops a xmas tree, he told hubs to go with him and get one for us too but he says he doesn't want to kill a tree so I guess I'll have to buy one.. no idea about the price..

Bloody tree hugger!

Cheaper to get one from the cemetery......

I know.. what I have to put up with

I used to love going and cutting down a tree.

Until Keith and I cut a giant one - put it up, and then it fell over.

Then trying to wrestle it upright again, it gave him an asthma attack.

Then I cut half of it off, threw the bottom half out the front door, put up the remaining half by myself - he came in the room and had another asthma attack.

Then threw the other half out the front door.

Artificial it is, sigh.

7' -- $40

White pine. Most of the pines around here are from the South which has been in a drought so I'm not sure how the needles will fare this year.

There are varying degrees of asthma attacks, yes, and sometimes even a little exertion can aggravate an attack. But I do wonder sometimes if there's a psychological input, too, insofar that we asthmatics - on occasions - signal an attack to some degree, by merely 'thinking' exertion.

For example: prior to almost every session of horseback riding (physical exertion) I 'sense' a premeditated attack waiting to pounce. Mentally, I resist it, thus 9 times out of 10 I suffer little if no symptoms. When I do suffer the symptoms, I keep resisting, remaining calm and focused as best able, whilst inhaling the medication. After a few minutes, I continue.

I believe that a determined but controlled routine of steady exercise may help, to some greater extent, alleviate 'anxiety' under exertion.

Just a thought, and off-topic, certainly no more than that.

Sure, that makes sense - if asthma is exercise induced.

Keith's is not, he can exercise all he wants. It was his face stuck into the tree while wrestling it, and an allergic reaction of sorts. No help for that I'm afraid (except grr artificial tree).

Oh dear... allergic reaction to his face being stuck in, er?? What is you said? Ah yes - in the tree! ...

Allergy symptoms, too, can be a pain - yes. Difficult one all round, really.

last year i fell in love with an artificial tree in target. It was 300dollars... i kept putting it off and putting it off buying it.

I eventually picket it up for 19Dollars on 19 december!!!!! Made me a happy shopper!

Now THAT's a great deal!

$300 - how big IS that thing?

We went up a little hill 2 mins from our house,on Thursday, tied a tag with our name on around the tree and then we chop it down next week, it's really wet and boggy so no trouble of it drying out with us, I named it Knut Gamanda Grimnes
