We have never had an official Christmas tree in our 8 years of marriage. The primary reason being we both like real trees and we always go to Colorado for Christmas, so the expense to enjoy a tree for only a short time has been prohibitive. Here's my solution: buy a little rosemary tree from Trader Joe's and we have a "practical" Christmas tree. Pictured above Moose and BiggiE studied the tree with their friend Magpie.
