[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 229944, member: 2211"] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=indigo]We bought a fake one at my insistence a few years ago, with the agreement that we would only use it on the years when easy child and difficult child were at their dad's. Well, those days are over. I am really loving the idea of using it every year. It's difficult child who does the most complaining every time I suggest using the artificial tree. But you know who does all the work? H and me...so I will turn a deaf ear to her cries next year.
