Re: Xmas tree prices?

oh okay then, thats perfect thanks!

If we had a car, we would adventure out or maybe even go to german/france to get a cheaper one, but as we only have public transport, or push bikes we have to get it local

60chf dosent sound that bad, i was a little bit worried it was going to be more like 200chf being switzerland!

i personally would prefer an artificial one...less mess and you can keep using it, so just one price up front then lasts for years. But i've been told by the boyfriend it HAS to be real so sadly its more effort for me!

As sad as it is, im actually getting quite excited about christmas! first time in years hence why im getting the tree so early :P

So familiar. Sooooooo familiar. (I prefer artificial as well because they are generally light enough that I can put it up and take it down solo... hubby refuses to even consider one unless we take it down the week before Christmas and set up a "real" one in it's place. )

A word of caution though about getting a tree this early - it really is quite dry here, hopefully some folks have good (GREAT) tips about keeping trees from drying out. I've heard that if you put corn syrup or sugar in the water, it should help "feed" the tree, I've never tried it myself though.
