We put up the tree yesterday. For the first time, we have an artificial tree
. I used to say I would
never put up an artificial tree, but alas...
This pic goes with a thank you to Jeff Wrangler! Yes. You may have no idea why, but last year you told us about your mother being allergic against real Christmas trees. For many years now, I had problems with asthma when putting up the tree and for days when it was in our living room. I had the inkling I could be allergic against the tree, but thought I'm crazy. Nobody is allergic against trees.
After reading about your mother last year, I decided to try an artificial tree this year - and everything is fine!
I'm so happy to spend Christmas without having problems to breathe. The down side is, my kids are not happy with the artificial tree. My oldest even threw a tantrum like a three year old
