Real or Fake

The question is are you real or Fake? Hummm that sounds like a question about yourself but noooooooo.Do you like a real Christmas Tree or a fake one? This is a debate that seems to go on and on in both sides of the family.

John and I have made it our tradition with our son to always cut one down from a great tree farm in Hugo, Mn just off highway 61 near White Bear Lake (small plug) I wish I could remember what the name was of this place and when we go again on Saturday I will find out and tell you. Anyway this place is great,the past couple of years the price has been $45 for any tree YES any tree that means if you find a 10 foot fir tree it's yours for only $45 anywhere else it would be close to $80 or more. Now that I think about it maybe I won't tell the name, no I will because it might help out Hugo in some way.

Now our other family members who will not be named prefer a fake. Why, you say because of the less mess factor. That my friend is the only reason they ever come up with, so every year they go up to the attic pull the box out full of dust vacuum off the tree and put it together (HO HO HO) then there is the swearing because they can't find the middle branch because the green paint that was suppose to mark it has rubbed off, no great pine smell unless you get the air freshener out and I am sorry but they DON'T LOOK REAL! (HO HO HO)

I under stand going to the local hardware store to pick up the tree isn't very Christmasy but it is real never the less and you are supporting the tree farmers but if you cut your own you are making memories for your kids and yourself and you are supporting your local farms as well. Never have I had a bad experience getting our tree.

Now let me here what you think! Tell me if you are Real or Fake!
