Interesting as there are no cranberries or popcorn on my tree.

You Are a Bright Christmas Tree
For you, the holidays are all about fun and seasonal favorites.
You are into all things Christmas, even if they're a little tacky.

I'm not taking a Christmas tree test!

I like an amabilis fir (truly a Tannenbaum) for the wonderful scent, but they don't grow where I live. Typically, the wild, uncultured trees that I bring home are skinny (like I used to be), with long internodes relatively free of limbs, and could be called Charlie Brown trees. The minimalist look is definitely me.

The kids made me get a tree with them today. All are teens now, but still want to continue the annual tradition. Wonderful! We found a white spruce growing in the road right-of-way. It'll do.

I was going to say Douglas Fir, but alas. I am not actually a tree so much as a type of decoration.

Suntrack is a Cranberry popcorn tree.

Toseek, I appreciate the talent for performing/undertaking different nice quizes. I think the quiz can better give a tonic to brain and our logical intelligence.

Merry Chirstmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family and the members here.
