To tree or not to tree, that is the question.

[Necromancer]

So, what do y'all do for a Christmas tree?  I have a small artificial tree, but a combination of me not giving a shit and not having the room prevents me from putting it up.

[SignOfZeta]

I have a real tree, and real big. In the stand its probably 10'. Fake trees make zero sense to me.

Last year's, post filter:



No filter:

Fake, real, whatever...

As long as it's a TurboGrafXmas Tree!

Mine, this year:

[TheClash603]

Zonk, Bonk, 2 Bombermen, a TG16, and Adol are all on the tree... man, they are tedious to build.

The Bombermen and Doraemon are keychains.

Adol's pretty awesome!  I came Across these (somebody's probably already posted them somewhere):

This is pretty neat. Print it out, cut and fold.

If you read the post, you'll see that TG-CD was the inspiration for the Adol "Boxpunk", but the site offers many, many other characters from various games.

*Yes, he spells it with an apostrophe. We can forgive him.

a fake one for me.... putting a real tree in your house makes zero sense to me

Why put a fake anything in...anything?

If you are going to spend $150 on a crappy 1/1 scale of something, why a sculpture of a tree? Why not a rocket ship or a naked lady?

Seriously, fake trees are about the tackiest thing I can imagine. Worse than giant wings on the truck decks of Civics, or clip-on ties, worse than Pamela Andersons tits, worse than a light up velvet painting of Jesus standing next to George W Bush.

If you live someplace where real trees are too expensive, or you are allergic to them, then just find some other way to decorate.

I can only think of one thing tackier than a fake tree: those plastic scrotums that truck people hang from their trailer hitches. True story, I saw one of those hanging from a C5 Vette this summer...and it was being driven by a woman.

[Tatsujin]

We have also a fake. It's a very little thing (about 25cm) with some LEDs changing the colors, just for the lil

Here is no big chance to buy a real deal anyway, unless you rob one out of a garden or a park.

hahahaha.. 

My wife is allergic to the trees Zeta, was just pulling your cord man... but i dont know that fake star up top of your tree is a bit on the cheesey side, you might as well have a pair of truck nuts up there  <<shrugs>> 

[SignOfZeta]

Certainly you aren't pretending that everything star shaped is somehow meant to be a facsimile of an actual ball of cosmic plasma...

[Starfighter]

I love christmas trees but I don't have the money to buy a new one each year and I don't have the patience to water it/brush up all the stuff that falls off so I'm going plastic this year! This is mine:


And henrycsc; you win at life. For ever.

[Necromancer]

You win, Henler, but why no Gillian Seed and Metal Gear?

Why put a fake anything in...anything?

Yeah, like fake icicles. 

[nodtveidt]

No tree... I'm a heathen.

Although I do make fake trees myself... out of coat hangers, light strings, garland, and miniature ornaments... and I sell them for $30 each.
