I put up a tree about six or seven years ago. One of those big tacky and expensive things of plastic and wire and all kinds of blinky things that all plug into a big mess of wires that you hope doesn't bust into flames and burn down the house. It's still up in my garage's loft crammed into its box still with the decorations on it for one day in the future if I should get the fake tree in my house urge again.
I've had a few of the real ones too but after seeing the one in my neighbor's place burst into flames and melt everything in their place I put them in the same category as storing a can of gas in the kitchen. He was in the shower at the time and ran out of his place naked beating on my door. I just remember looking through my peephole wondering why the gay guy across from me was at my door naked, then I saw the flames.
