We always do just one tree and decorate it as a family. Same thing for my family as I was growing up and same for my husband's family. I guess I never thought people had more than one Christmas tree in their home at once. You learn something new each day

We actually have two trees up but likea fool I was so excited to have at this pole poll that I clicked "1" instead. Ugh!
We only have up one tree, but I clicked two for you. Thanks, Pal! So, it occured to us that our newer dog Max probably wasn't around Christmas trees in his former homes because he keeps wanting to "mark" it. He sees it as a tree (and in his mind I'd imagine he's wondering how it grew inside) and not the decoration is it. At least he's not jumping up in this. If his aim is pretty good, this could keep you from having to add water to the stand so often. Brilliant!

An inside 10 1/2 month old Bull Mastiff meant we decided to not do a tree this year!

what about the ones outside the house? Just one decorated on the porch. I have six daughters so...
the main one is in the living room and is real.
the one in the basement is for the two oldest.
one of the oldest also has another tree in her room.
the third daughter has one in her room.
the youngest three have one in their room.
Oh yeah, and there is one in the playhouse (which also has a heater, flat screen TV, DVD player, and a faux fireplace for Santa to come down)! Six Daughters I thought 3 sons was bad enough. Good luck Grinch! Has your hair turned totally grey yet? At 48, The Grinch is happy to say, you can only see, a little gray...

Growing up, we'd go to the tree farm and cut our own tree every year. It was nice to have it in the house and smelling so good, but we kids were in charge of keeping it watered which meant it went dry and stayed that way most of the time. Such a mess to clean up after. Finally, my mom put her foot down and that was the end to the real trees.
Out here, some people throw the whole tree in their pool to hydrate it first, then keep the basin filled with water.
