We have one of those three-piece fake ones w. limbs attached. Easy to set up, and looks good. We also have a fiber optic tree that friends gave us in a big green storage bag. Someone asked was was in the bag, and I kicked it. "Eh, the mother-in-law, ya know". Got a few laughs, but also the stink-eye from the wife.
With our (once) four cats, we have this little "half tree" that wife got from unused display items at work. It is like a mini tree, split vertically so that it hangs on the wall. We loaded it with mini lights , beads and such. Very nice - and unreachable by the kitties. If I had the bucks, I'd market these little half trees.
My heart, though, belongs to the real-deal trees, as one of my earliest memories is of my dad and I going out on a moonlit night and cutting a small tree in north Georgia. The moonlight was so bright that we cast shadows on the snow.

Man, now I'm all

for snow and to have my dad alive again.
It's all good. Everyone have a merry one, but let's ramp it down and still get in that good ol' TURKEY DAY!
