i find ours don't dry out as bad because of our higher humidity / temps.


also LED lights + wifi switch on a timer + Alexa control = near zero risk

This is my first year using LED Christmas lights, after running for several hours, the bulbs are room temp.

Modern lights are wayyyy cooler too.
True. I'm full LED on my tree now.

Same. It takes about 3 pints in the morning and another 2-3 pints when I get home from work. This will gradually decrease to 2-3 pints/day.

While it's ugly, I do like my big murican tree stand for this reason. SUV like in it's water capacity.
Hide it under a nice tree skirt?

Nice!

I've always wanted to see Thessaloniki. My mother has and she loved it but I've never been that far north in the country. Let me know if they've finished their new metro yet.

So, no Christmas tree at the TK Constantinople house?

I'm staying at my uncles. They might probably have.

This is actually my second time visiting there, last I visited was 2015, saw the Ataturk house. It's really nice, more mellow than Athens

Real tree till the kids are much older, hopefully forever. I like the smell of pine trees and the process of picking them out is a fun tradition for me.

We bought a live tree as usual now. Originally we had hand down broken fake trees.

Been too busy to even decorate the current tree

We went to a nice pick/chop your own farm this year. Definitely going to be our go-to from here on out.

I've had 1 Christmas tree in the last 6 years. It was live. And that is the only tree type I will have.

But I don't really decorate or do too much since I don't really own my home or feel as if it is truly mine.

Maybe at my next house I will decorate. But so far I cant remember the last time I really celebrated a holiday at my house.
