We decided to go with a real Christmas tree this year, the first time in the 27 years we have been married. We asked for some advise on what kind of tree to buy and we did some research. We decided to go with a Fraser Fir because it is supposed to be the best. They keep their needles on the longest and have stronger branches than most to hold up ornaments. Plus the branches are spaced enough so there is room to hang ornaments. We did not want to spent a lot of money so we went to Home Depot to get one. The worst part was you really couldn’t see what it was going to look like, because it came with all the branches in the up position. We couldn’t even pull the branches down because they were frozen. One of the sales persons then cut the bottom for us and wrapped it.
Once we unwrapped the tree and put it in the stand we had to let the branches thaw and drop.
This year we went with silver and red glittery ornaments. Most of them I got from my daughter the others I got from garage sales or the children made. I thought the red tied the other red accents I have in my other Christmas decor. (red twigs and berries)
The next two ornaments are ones that my children made for a St. Nicholas Day craft. You could see how here.
This is the tree decorated. I think the shape turned out nice for a Home Depot tree. I think we paid $36.00.
Our old tree we decorated and put in our basement. As you could see it is mostly gold and cream glittery. The advantage of using a artificial tree is you could move the branched to fit certain ornaments.

Terminal leader or basal pruning can be used to address excessive leader growth that interferes with the tree's intended symmetry. The leader is trimmed down to the appropriate length—typically 8 to 12 inches—during terminal leader trimming. It is best to make the cut at an angle. A nice bloom should be around one inch above it. Remove all of the buds from the leader down to around three inches from the top whorl, starting from the top bud nearest the cut. This will lessen the likelihood that many tops will form. To decide how much to shear, fold up the top whorl of branches alongside the leader.
