Yeah, it's like 10 feet tall. Luckily the doors you cannot see behind are french doors so it's 2 doors wide and the tree fits nicely.

I made the mistake a couple years ago of deciding that the now dry lower bits would be easier to get out if I cut them off.

The cutting off in fact worked GREAT. The problem was the 2 little faces watching in horror as daddy mutilated the Christmas tree. Next time I wait til they are not at home :)

I went by Lowes this year and bought a 2d tree that I put in the atrium for our christmas party (we set that room up for kids to do crafts and decorate cookies so the parents can eat and drink with less interruption :) ). I got the tree the end of last week. When you wait that long they are virtually free. I got a 6-7 ft tree for $18 or something like that. Might have been less, $18 might have been before a discount, lol.

:D

18 bucks that's some deal but I take it they don't deliver it to your home. . . . . . .

I don't have a pick up here but I guess that's what friends are for :haha:

I shoved the little one right inside the station wagon, I didn't even put it on the roof :)

10 feet is longer than most European cars! :D

The 10 footer I threw on the roof (my station wagon IS a euro car (a Saab)).
