I have an artificial 6 ft green Christmas tree, it just glows with white fibre optic bits, alot less hassle! Lol
We had real Christmas tree's when we were kids, love the smell, but remember Mum always with the hoover out mopping up the needles!!
It is always traditional guys that there is always one bulb that blows every year on one set of your lights, it is normally the awkward ones that you put up!!
