    My wife bought me this vintage tree about 15 years ago. I love it! The color wheel still works (not plugged in in picture). We put some of our old childhood toys around it. Red ornaments only - please!

    It is essentially a two piece, silver, broom handle with wire branches and a stand.

    I'm allergic to the real thing, so mine is always fake. BUT, that's ok, because I actually can't stand the smell of pine; tried a real tree just for the kids ONE year, but I wanted it out of the house by the third day!

    Real.

    It shouldn't be an option... Unless you're allergic. :s

    very pretty.
    So @ninerbuff do you have a theme tree or is it the requisite mish mash of ornaments that you've collected over the years

    We buy a yearly ornament denoting it (my DW and I have ever since we got together so we have 17 now) and we stick to basically Red and Gold (49er colors).
    Maybe next year we'll do Blue and Gold (Golden State Warriors).

    Bought real trees all my life. Putting the tree lights on was one of the few things my hubby & I would argue about (that, and setting up the camping tent). Love the pine tree smell and the tradition of doing it with our son. Now that he's 20, and we moved to a new house where we negotiated buying the seller's artificial tree, we've made due with the artificial type. Miss the smell, don't miss the watering & mess. I barely decorate it now since son and husband don't really give a darn, and most of the effort seems to fall on me. Bring on some grandchildren! But not quite yet :)
