Decorating With Nick
By Marisa | December 12, 2007
How do you convince a kid that an artificial Christmas tree is just as good as a real one? Better yet, how do you convince him that fake is better, at least in this case?
Nick keeps talking about wanting a “real” tree. Never mind that he has allergies, just as Levi and Jesse do. Never mind that he has never had to pick up pine needles for 5 months after the tree has been discared. He has no clue what he’s getting himself into.
Apparently he was watching a TV show promoting the Wilmington NC real estate market that featured lavishly decorated homes, all with real Christmas trees. Okay, first, these trees were over 10 feet tall. We’ve already decided that we can’t put a tree in the foyer and that’s the only place in the house with high enough ceilings to accomodate a tree that size. Besides, those homes were almost certainly decorated by professionals who will also come in after the holidays and remvoe the trees and make sure that no pine needles remain.
Nick keep telling me that next year he’s buying a real tree before I drag out the fake one. He also wants to plant one in front of the house and decorate it. Brian has said NO WAY to that. He does not want pine needles in his gutters!
Poor Nick. He has all these great ideas yet all we’ll let him do is climb on the roof to hang lights.
