When I got married, some 23 years ago, my husband and I would go cut down a cedar tree somewhere in the field for our Christmas tree.  I'd decorate it so pretty, then shortly after, my arms would break out in red welps all over.  I was allergic, and so is my husband.  So we started using a fake tree.  We've had some beautiful fake trees over the years, but they never seem to be as pretty as real trees.  They sure don't smell as good.  We got a wood burning stove this year and I'm anxious for the smell of it this winter.  I have also decided that we are going to the local Christmas tree farm to choose a real tree this year.  It will be pine though, no more cedar for us.
