How many trees over 4 feet do you put up?

None. Just 2, a 3 foot and a 2 foot, up off the floor where the cats can't get them.

I put up 4. Only one is 7 1/2ft. The others are 5ft. One in living room, 1 in dining room, 1 in entrance hallway, 1 in my bedroom and then a 4ft. in axtra bedroom. I really love having my trees. They are all different slightly. I live in a very small condo so I have to put things away just so I can put out Christmas.

For me, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

Very strange, I have 5 cats and the only thing they like to do is lay down under it.

@luvmybeetle , I only have 2, but really only one would be a problem. He's a nut case.

My cats don't bother the trees except to sit under it. I put up a 5 1/2 foot tree and a 3 foot one. That's all the decorating I do.

We just put up one 7.5 ft. tree. That's it. I don't know why they have been offering a 7 ft. tree instead of a 7.5 ft. Maybe a cost cutting measure, but I'm not going to buy a 7 ft. tree for my 8 ft. ceiling.

We have a few 3 ft. pre-lit trees on the patio and beside the front door.

@luvmybeetle Not so strange...when my cats were younger, I would have to re-decorate the lower third of my tree every day when I came home from work! I had two cats (at different times) who as kittens would climb all the way to the top of the tree.

I downsized from a large home to a loft condo so I bought a cyndrical thin tree and it's fine.

I keep things simple and I'm content.

Re: CHRISTMAS TREES

Two, but after this year, I might go down to just one.

I think mine is 7, maybe 7.5? But I also put up a number of smaller trees in other rooms. They would be between 2 and 3 feet.

I love the look of the thinner trees, and when my current full tree just doesn't look good anymore, I'll buy one like this

I don't bother with any tree anymore although I have a couple in the garage. It's just too much trouble for just me and the dog.

I must say I'd never pay the prices QVC is asking for trees and those lights would drive me nuts, especially with kids playing with them. Holy moly!!!
