  1. We kept chopping down taller and taller trees on our property until one 24 foot behemoth proved too big and unstable. We had to shorten it to 18 feet, then each succeeding year I searched for smaller and smaller trees. Two years ago I finally convinced my family to get an artificial tree. It's a pre-lighted eight-foot fir with frosting. No more needles or water on the floor, or trudging through the snow uphill while dragging a dead fir. We'll still have the memories, though.
