I got my new Xmas tree last week!! I found one here and ordered it right away. I had one I ordered prob 30 years ago from the Thomas Paccone line--that thing lasted 25 years at least ----think I paid $200 for it then. I had to toss it away about 5 years ago due to it finally breaking apart. I put the new box in my storage space unopened--will be fun to open it up after Thanksgiving!! DD and I are planning on making fancy, glam ornaments this year for xmas. We both have an enormous stash of fancy glass beads and sparkly baubles, strands of seed beads and such, that we have been accumulating for years---should be fun!! Also have alot of homemade papers  and fabric and old buttons to use--need to get started tho!!

@wagirl   Just a suggestion but you might want to open the box now and check it out to make sure all is okay with it.   Not sure if you ordered one that's prelit, but if you did you'll also want to make sure the lighting works as well.

I agree with @ciao_bella. I ordered a Beth. Lights tree many years ago and didn't open it in time and had issues with the lights not working and too late to send back

@wagirl  I agree with @ciao_bella . Even though the return policy might be the end of January, if you find it isn't what  you want or is broken when you take it out in late November, you may not be able to replace it with something you will like.

@wagirl  After my first Mardi Gras & Canival ventures decades ago I stopped decorating my small tree w/X-mas ornaments.  I now use only Mardi Gras/Carnival beads & such I accumulated through the years.
