Anyone want a 7ft tall artifical Christmas tree? Wife says I'm nuts?

[1969chargerrtse]

My older brother gave us one of these fold out trees with lights wired in the tree.  We have been using this 7ft  tree I bought about 4 years ago and is in like new condition.  It cost over 100.00 easy and I'm not throwing it out.  It's in it's box in the attic ready go.  My wife says no one wants a put together tree, and I disagree.  Maybe I am nuts?  Anyone live near New haven Ct or wants to come up (an see my car  ) to Bethany CT to pick it up?  Know of anyone that needs a nice artificial tree?  First to PM gets it, if no one is interested I'll find it a home somewhere, but I ain't chucking it.

if i celebrated holidays, i would only have an artificial tree myself.  i've seen what pine does to cars around here, i'll be damned if a tree is going to sh#$ on my floor.

No Mess....

We've had a fake tree for the past 5-6 years and I like it. You can't tell it's fake other than the lack of pine scent but I could always spray it down with some Pine Sol I guess.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the prelit business quit working and no matter what I tried I couldn't get more than half of it to light up. So a couple years ago I cut off all the lights and now I just add a couple strings of lights to it and I'm done. For a long time I also hated the idea of a fake tree but practicality eventually overruled. And I got tired of the hassle of buying, transporting, installing and disposing a real one every year.

Mine has been a fake for the past 3 years as well...its an 8ft pre-lit Grand Spruce from Mr. Christmas.  It has well over 1400 white lights...I swear you probably can see it from space if I set it up outside

I'd jump on it if I needed one, but mine is still in good shape. We've had it for about 20 years.

We bought it one year after Christmas for about 1/3 the cost. I've been hoping to find one as nice with lights already in it, but so, far, no luck.

It took a pine needle in the foot... in the previous July - to convince my then girlfriend (now wife) that to bring a real  tree in to the apartment again would not be a good idea. We had shag carpet. 
So, while we did bring one more real tree in to the house that year, it was the last one. And I sprung for a fir because they hold their needles better.

I've been pestering my wife for 7 years now that we need a new tree to put up. The one she has just plain out irritates me. So much that I let get it out of the box, stand it up and walk away. It reminds me of the Charlie brown tree, just a few twigs and not a lot left of it. I would have spoke up for the tree but my wife finally said today that we are getting a new tree. Thank goodness.

No takers yet?   Wife may be right about me after all.

Anytime, always looking to hook up with Charger friends.  I'm only a PM away.  You're ever bored, take a swing up.

Nope...We have never had a fake tree and never will. Takes the fun out of everything.

we have artificial tree and its been doing fine last few years we had it. We always get compliments on it how nice it looks. Most people dont know its not real until they carefully look at it.

When they look at it do you lean in to their shoulder and wisper "Yup go ahead and take a sniff, its one of them there real fancy real artificial tree's."

We've had a fake tree for at least the last 12 or so years. I got REAL tired of dealing with all the aggrevations that go with having a real tree. The only thing I like about them is the smell, otherwise fuggetaboutit!

All you have to do is go to the quick-e-mart and buy a dozen of those Christmas tree air fresheners and hang them on your fake tree like ornaments..!
