Trimming the tree

I would never think I would be saying this........we bought a fake tree! I never thought I would break down and do it! I love live trees. But I can't keep them alive! But to tell a little secret....I love my fake tree!!! It was a breeze! Pre-lit lighting. It took like 10 minutes to decorate! The kids had a blast and they didn't have to wait forever while Dad hung the lights! Why didn't I do this sooner?
