Who here gets real trees every year? I have never had one and my parents have NEVER had a real tree but I'm thinking about getting one for the first time this year. I wouldn't put ornaments on it because I know my cat will have a field day with them, but I was curious if I could get one next week or shortly after Thanksgiving and it still be in good condition until I discard it at the end of December? What kind of things would I need for it and what special care would I have to give it? Is there a certain type of tree you would recommend? Also, how much do they usually cost. I don't want but maybe a 6 footer or so. Sorry for all the questions!
