My husband is back to a 7.5 ft with the table like you suggested. I found a DIY drum base like the little Drummer Boy to give it almost a potted tree look. When your grandma put a table underneath the tree, do you recall how the metal stand was hidden? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964533 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 14:16:01 +0000 IRunForFun 1964533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we're doing a tree this year, real or fake. We have a rambunctious 25 pound puppy who loves to chase and attack shadows, lights, and shiny things, so a tree seems like an invitation for disaster. :sad: I might get a small, pre-lit table top tree just to have something... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964509 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 13:41:09 +0000 Cherrybee 1964509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Next week for us. I wanted to put our decs up this weekend but DH put his foot down about it being too early. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964502 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 13:34:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1964502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: we got the Doug fir at HD. Couldn't pass up a $29 tree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964499 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 13:31:42 +0000 BoogieBea 1964499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were going to go yesterday but thought maybe it was too early. Would the tree dry out? Maybe we'll do it later today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964480 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 13:00:46 +0000 Torchwood 1964480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's been up for a week, and we were actually later than usual putting it up! (We were waiting for our foster kitty to leave because he weighed about 20 pounds and would have definitely tried to climb it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964449 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 12:15:13 +0000 sapphire 1964449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got outs yesterday - feels nice to start December with the tree up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964440 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:58:29 +0000 BSB 1964440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having one cut and dropped off next weekend!

Went to a cute little tree farm. It's our first year with a real tree so we are excited (and nervous)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964374 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 10:36:28 +0000 wrkbrk 1964374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours yesterday! 8 foot frasir fir from home depot. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964330 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:49:35 +0000 78h2o 1964330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: you could always put something underneath; some kind of riser covered by a tree skirt. My grandmother was an interior decorator and her trees were always on top of a round table.</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out what to do about a tree. We have a cheap artificial one that I hate. Would love to cut one down with LO, but we're all feeling kind of crappy. Next weekend is busy though, so I am debating getting a cut tree (which would still be a lot of work since Id have to figure out how to get it into my SUV with the carseat...unless I went during her nap. We also need a tree stand. Or we could do a small table top tree from Wegmans... Decisions, decisions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964326 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:45:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1964326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually get on the Saturday after thanksgiving, but unfortunately some family events came up. So not sure when we will! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964321 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:43:36 +0000 Dandelion 1964321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not today, but we'll get one this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964314 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:39:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1964314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought a fake one online, but rethinking my purchase. 12 ft ceilings...bought a 7.5 ft tree. 9 ft would be better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964311 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:35:25 +0000 Greentea 1964311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went yesterday to a local Christmas tree farm. It was awesome! There was an alpaca petting zoo, hayrides, free cider and popcorn, and a huge play ground. People are allowed to bring leashed pets and DD loved seeing dogs everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964303 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:21:10 +0000 marionberry 1964303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep picking ours out this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964297 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:06:39 +0000 pinkb 1964297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep going today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-a-christmas-tree-this-weekend#post-1964273 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 08:34:57 +0000 mrbee 1964273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we'll probably get a tree today with the kids! Nothing fancy... just something from the local tree stand. We let the kids pick out the tree, which is a big dangerous but usually works out!</p> <p>Are you getting a Christmas tree this week? </p>
