We’ve never had a live tree. I’m afraid we’d find a squirrel in it or a cat would eat at the cords and die underneath it. Iykyk. 😜

So everybody would stay the night together? I would love for one time to spend Christmas at a big cabin somewhere for a few days. We have a family of 20 including kids and grandkids. It just wouldn’t be easy to do since they also go to the in-laws for Christmas as well. I’m still holding out...
