We loved our Christmas tree this year. With the cost of trees going up due to shortages and whatnot, and basically the whole pain of trimming the trunk and trying to get it to stand straight as well as having to water it everyday, we decided to purchase an artificial tree. I saw this particular type in a home depot (a small pencil style one) and thought it was the most realistic looking one I had ever seen. When I found I could buy the size and style I wanted on Wayfair we decided to do it. It was so nice to have a perfect tree with little hassle. I hated to take it down.
