We finally went with a real one this year after we remembered we got rid of our old fake one last year, and it's pretty exciting! Have to decorate it tonight, so this has got me excited to start 🎉🎉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374426 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:01:04 +0000 avivoca 2374426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I like to put ours up the day after American Thanksgiving, but I'm slacking. This weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374425 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:00:37 +0000 avivoca 2374425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: It's sad because I know that only the front half was decorated lol. We have so many more ornaments, but we were so exhausted that we quit halfway through. Last year's tree was much better, but I failed to get a full picture with it on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374423 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:00:18 +0000 .twist. 2374423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Everyone and their cat decorated last weekend. I am firmly in the camp of "can't decorate before december 1". IT'S BEEN A HARD WEEK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374421 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:59:30 +0000 avivoca 2374421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: me tooooo!

But agree if you want garland, tinsel, etc you should go the whole nine yards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374399 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:42:33 +0000 .twist. 2374399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: #treeproblems #lovetheribbons I can't wait for the decorated tree sharing thread. Then I'll take my tree love to a whole new <s>crazy</s> level. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374393 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:37:52 +0000 Reese 2374393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Ribbon twins! Love your tree and I am glad you stuck to your tree guns and kept your tree. I would be weird possessive about my tree too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374391 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:34:56 +0000 .twist. 2374391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I think you deserve to decorate this year the way you want! ;) </p> <p>@LibbyLou: haha!

It made me laugh. In a good way. I'm also strangely attached to silly things so I got you the entire time. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374262 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:51:03 +0000 avivoca 2374262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: He hates ribbon, tinsel, tinsel garland, and all things fun apparently. :sad: I might put ribbon on it this year anyway, we've been married for almost 9 years and I've been doing the tree his way for all of them, so it's time to have the tree the way I want it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374250 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:47:44 +0000 Ajsmommy 2374250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say no. I am particular about my trees too and if I loved mine I wouldn't trade it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374241 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:44:11 +0000 sera_87 2374241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe this is a thing. But I'd buy her a tree off kijiji (and maybe sell hers?) so......yep p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374203 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:21:42 +0000 .twist. 2374203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Yes! I love a skinny tree too. Our new house has a lot more room that our old one, but I don't care, I just love it. </p> <p>@avivoca: Oh, I understand that, your tree is beautiful though! I think the skinny trees are so nice. I saw a bee (can't remember which one) who did ribbons falling from the top of the tree instead of wrapped around like I have, and it was so nice! Why is he against a ribbon!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374171 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:05:09 +0000 avivoca 2374171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: It's so beautiful! I want to do ribbon on my tree but my husband is very against that. I love skinny trees too. Here's our tree from two years ago. It was kind of sad since it was right after H was born and we were tired. </p> [attach=2564/15/nyosom.600x600.IMG_1682.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374152 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:49:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2374152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha! I actually love skinny trees! I don't have a ton of room so I always appreciate a pretty, skinny, well groomed fake tree :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374144 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:46:43 +0000 .twist. 2374144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: haha just trying to bring quality content to HB! ;) </p> <p>Ok, I will share the tree, but be warned, it didn't fit in our last house, so it's crunched to the ceiling. Also, don't get your hopes up, it's not THAT special. </p> [attach=1438/15/nyortv.600x400.10633973_10155013026575571_7683760481469966107_o.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374135 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:42:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2374135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a truly great thread, lol! You really gotta post pictures of this tree that you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374097 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:21:42 +0000 Littlebit 2374097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I for sure wouldn't trade! We got a new tree last year that I love - it has pine cones and a little bit of 'dusting' over some of the branches. I absolutely love it and was excited to get it out again this year. So I don't think you're being crazy at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374089 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:18:50 +0000 petunia354 2374089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I'd decline then! You are going to be looking at that tree a lot over the next month, it's better be something you enjoy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2374083 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:16:54 +0000 .twist. 2374083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: It's not even so much that I don't want a bigger tree, but more that I don't want <i>her</i> tree. The quality isn't the same as mine and there are subtle differences that I don't particularly like about the style. Ya know? </p> <p>@petunia354: Our styles are so different. I decorate with childhood ornaments from when I was a kid and she is more classic but old ladyish. haha </p> <p>@kitty: I totally agree with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373530 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 18:15:37 +0000 kitty 2373530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me of a saying: "lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." So why is it up to you to fix her problem? Say no if you want, you don't need some awesome reason! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373458 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:09:55 +0000 petunia354 2373458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: do you have enough ornaments to decorate the tree with? I feel like that's a pretty big jump in size, I don't think I'd have enough? Or will she let you borrow some of hers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373447 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:00:40 +0000 daniellemybelle 2373447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be excited to get a bigger/taller tree... but if you are attached to your tree I totally understand! Better to just be honest than regret it though I have a hard time with this stuff too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373430 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:45:16 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2373430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you're crazy. We specifically picked out are tree to be decent quality, full, the shape we wanted, the amount of lights we wanted, etc. so I would not want to take somebody else's tree that does not meet the specifications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373429 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:43:48 +0000 .twist. 2373429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MOMTOLITTLEB: haha! I get trading or giving if it's something that I'm done with, but if I'm using it and happy, why suggest it? "Can I have that coffee table?!" Uh... but... I'm using it! People make me laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had/page/2#post-2373413 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:36:12 +0000 .twist. 2373413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Oh gosh, I would if I could. It was from Target and we no longer have Target in Canada. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had#post-2373412 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:36:09 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2373412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any great advice, I would definitely try to avoid trading, you like your tree and there's nothing wrong with that.</p> <p>My sister in law asked to trade beds with us! I think she could tell I was put off by it and fortunately never mentioned it again. On the subject of trees she also pawned her old artificial tree off on my husband and it's currently collecting dust in my basement. It's so awkward for me when my in laws are pushy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trading-trees-or-craziest-problem-ive-ever-had#post-2373410 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:35:24 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2373410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized it's a fake tree. I'd tell her that "I love my tree". If you trade trees, it'll likely annoy you and you'll end up buying a new tree (maybe that's just what I'd do). :silly: </p>
