Yes, I realize our Christmas tree is still up. For your information it is the only Christmas item that is still up in our house. A word of advice: don't ever get a flocked tree. Although incredibly beautiful, the lights are impossible to take off and our city garbage won't accept flocked trees. We will have to pay a fee of thirty dollars, I think to take to the dump. I love the look of a flocked tree. I would do it again if it wasn't so hard to dispose of.
