 Does anyone sell un lit trees? We need a replacement Christmas tree, and the only ones I see anymore are pre-lit.
I know you will try to tell me how much more convenient, and hassle free this is. Nay, I say.
I will tell you that I enjoy decorating my tree, (even the lights) and that you will be fucked when those puppies burn out, whereas you can just buy a new string of lights if those go bad!
So, any thoughts, artificial trees that are not pre-lit? Keep your eyes peeled!

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? pre-lit trees?
Are you talking about artificial trees? All the tree lots I see have your basic naked trees...

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? @Missy...I love those little knee hugging elves! I still have a lot of that stuff in your pics above from my childhood. My mother saved all of it and gave it to me a few years ago.
When I was very young she would move the elves around the room while I was sleeping or not looking and put candy in their arms. I thought they were magical!

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? After buying a real tree the year before last, I am firmly in the fake tree camp. It took months before I got rid of all of the needles in my carpet. Maybe one day when I have a house with wood floors.
Good point on the lightbulbs burning out on the pre-lit fake trees.

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? I'm waiting for those transgenic trees that incorporate firefly DNA. No need to plug them in!
I always found it odd that some of the same people who would balk at hanging a deer's head on the wall would have no problem bringing a beautiful thing into their house like a tree or cut flowers and enjoy watching them slowly die...

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? Fake tree for me. Spent a bit too much on one this year, but its pretty huge, and looks realistic for once. Put it up last weekend

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? Fake trees are creepy.
But to answer your question, I have seen unlit trees at Home Depot this season.

Re: Does anyone sell un lit trees? That's kind of cool. Now if it's possible to mount it on the ceiling like a chandelier

with a color wheel to shine up on it Ha! That's what we have - shiny silver, and completely pop art - it rules. Some friends of mine did an entire book about these: http://www.seasonsgleamings.com/

if you want pine smell, buy a candle! I agree on the effort and $$$. But I think they are worth it for the tradition and atmosphere they provide. Plus, the fake-pine candle smell can't hold a candle to the real pine freshness of a tree.
