How do you get your tree home?

"Just toss it in the back, please!"
I used to do this with the old Saab wagon. Nice to see I can still do it even with a slightly smaller cargo area. Having the rubber floor protector is nice!

Ours was in a box which then went in the boot - fake trees are more popular here (lol)

I hate real trees but I have no say on the matter.

It's in a bag in the crawl space. Fake tree for years. Best decision ever.

Real trees or nuthin'

But what the hell kind of tree is that? Don't you midwesterners know how to pick out a proper pine tree? Lol

(smash)

It's a white pine. That's not good enough for you, Mr. Christmas Tree snob? [emoji16]

Ha! Just teasing. We go with Balsam Firs up here in Maine.

Usually do Douglas Firs here but they were pricey this year. Like 90 bucks. This was just under 50.

My whole life as a kid we've gotten real trees. Nothing really matches that. Having said that, now I just have a prelit tree that goes up in 5 minutes. Can't beat that! Maybe when my daughter is older I'll go for a real tree again to share that experience with her.

Always had fake growing up. Hate dealing with with pine needles.

Best is no tree. Next best is fake tree.

Actually this is the best (wink)

I do the same. My daughter picked out a Fraser fir yesterday.

It must have smelled amazing in your CX-5!

These are a bit easier to maneuver though. lol

Found Scrooge?

In the back of my wife’s 4x4 pick up. And of course a real, honest to gawd, grown in the North Carolina mountains Tree.

I do fake ones these days but easy enough to just get a permit and go out and cut one yourself in my area. I grew up with Noble Firs as the desired tree at home.

Watering if everyday was what irritated me even more. Probably cause I was a little kid and didn't want to do it but that's what I remember. But yes, pine needles were particularly annoying especially when your dog decides to play with the ornaments are brush up against the tree.

Got a 9 ft fake tree at Menard's a few years ago in February clearance sale for $40.00. Had to cut some off to get it to fit properly in the house.
