do you carve your jackolantern on 9/11?

11/26/2012 9:27:23 PM

I find myself agreeing with TT more often these days

11/26/2012 9:35:06 PM

Plan to decorate this week, and I hope to get our tree this weekend. Also need to get in a first Santa visit.

11/26/2012 9:36:19 PM

No tree for us this year

11/26/2012 9:37:02 PM

fuck christmas and all your christmas trees

11/26/2012 9:39:14 PM

my mother in law is tying little bows all over mine.

11/26/2012 9:39:28 PM

We always had real trees growing up and that is what I have said I wanted once I start putting one up myself. My wife and I haven't had our own big tree yet though since we always are out of town for Christmas and New Years.

We've been talking and I might just pick up a decent fake tree this year so we can finally start putting a tree up but not worry about the hassle of a real tree when we aren't home that much around this time of year anyway.

^^ haha no way would I have the patience for doing something like that. I don't even have the patience for tinsel. In my family we always used candy canes for trimming

It's pretty common to for people to put up their Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. In fact, pretty much everyone I know does it.

11/27/2012 9:08:16 AM

i'll have mine up by this weekend. going to go with a smaller tree this year. maybe 5', just to save a little cash.

11/27/2012 9:12:32 AM

^^i usually get mine a couple weeks before christmas

i just always think its dumb when its like mid-november and stores already have christmas stuff up, etc

When I was a kid I think we were the only family that waited until mid-December to put up the tree. All my friends had theirs up right after Thanksgiving. But my parents are also lazy and wouldn't take down the tree until late-January lol.

11/27/2012 10:09:03 AM

mine's up

11/27/2012 10:11:39 AM

If you like to go to the mountains and do choose/cut for your tree, please support my friend Larry. His farm is about 30 minutes west of Boone. (Banner Elk/Linville area) Lots of cool little places to shop and eat around there, so make a day of it! Or better yet, make a weekend of it! There are some really nice cabins right down the road. Awesome selection of trees too. PM me if you would like directions.

If you have the cash and want to order a fresh cut tree, check out Trees 4 V....proceeds come back to the V Foundation.

It's the farm that Tommy Burleson is a partner (I think I spelled his name right)

anyways here's the link http://www.jimmyv.org/2012/11/trees-4-v/ or you can go straight to http://trees4v.com/

^ for the record, "fresh cut tree" means that it was cut about a month ago. But Tommy is a good dude, and is from the same area of the picture I posted. So support him too.

11/27/2012 1:03:12 PM

Well they actually cut the tree in the mountains and ship from there

so it's a little fresher than the ones on the lots

but yeah...Support Tommy yo

11/27/2012 6:33:12 PM

Yeah, Big Box stores and grocery stores have the oldest trees by far. My Girlfriend's family is lives smack dab in the middle of Christmas Tree country in the mountains of NC. Her mom went to High School with Tommy. They were already starting to cut in the beginning of October to ship to Food Lion and Lowes

I've always wondered what the time frame was between when a tree gets cut and when it ends up in a lot. The more you know!

11/28/2012 9:54:25 AM

It really depends on the lot. Thanksgiving is usually the busiest weekend for delivering trees to lots, but most of those trees have already been cut for weeks. A lot of the smaller lots also own farms in the mountains, so their trees are undoubtedly more fresh.

11/28/2012 9:56:29 AM

Now off to buy some ornaments!

12/4/2012 1:21:00 PM

12/6/2012 3:23:15 PM

What? No one celebrates Christmas anymore?

Where are all the trees

12/7/2012 1:31:15 AM

DONE

12/7/2012 5:46:36 PM

I know y'all niggas got trees up by now

12/9/2012 10:41:02 PM

Nay. I'm holding out for better deals on the 26th.

12/9/2012 10:48:59 PM

Mine isn't finished...but here's the start.

I need more ornaments and I need to make a topper

12/9/2012 11:08:46 PM

does anyone else find it ironic that you have a white tree?

12/9/2012 11:17:48 PM

only racists

12/9/2012 11:18:56 PM

12/9/2012 11:21:02 PM

I did get a little mad when I found a pink tree online...might have 2 trees next year

12/9/2012 11:22:11 PM

Still using the tiny, sparse, fake tree, but I love it anyway.

12/9/2012 11:23:57 PM

^ OMG....I TOTALLY WANT THAT STAY PUFFED MARSHMALLOW MAN ORNAMENT!!!!

12/9/2012 11:26:12 PM

It plays the ghostbusters theme and it is one of this year's hallmark ornaments.

12/9/2012 11:26:48 PM

Please tell me you are my Secret Santa

12/9/2012 11:28:08 PM

Alas, I am not. I already killed it with my awesome present.

12/9/2012 11:30:30 PM

Today was very exciting, did my first tree





also... manage to shove that tree into my 2 door



Merry Christmas y'all!

If anyone still needs a tree my brothers and I grow them in the mountains of NC (Alleghany county, near Sparta). We are selling them at my church (St. Paul's) 3331 Blue ridge road in Raleigh. Feel free to go by and pick one up this week. The lot isn't manned during the week but you can drop off payment in the church office or put a check in the honor box. Next weekend my brother or I will be out there selling trees if you want to wait until then. A portion of the proceeds goes to my church's outreach fund for charity. Some of the charities we support are Habitat for Humanity, one of the women's shelters downtown, and meals on wheels as well as the Eastern NC foodbank.

12/10/2012 7:55:24 AM

i need to find a topper. i haven't seen any i like - they all looked super corny. i also want to find a ruby slippers ornament that isn't crappy OR a million dollar collectible.

12/10/2012 11:01:08 AM

^^ very nice! But heads up, your "S" is crooked. (JK, it's probably just the angle of the picture)

Also LOL at fitting the tree in a 2-door.

my wife refuses to get a real tree because they are "dangerous"
