We always get a real tree but having Alfie now we have started talking about a Fake tree so that he wouldnt eat the needles and get hurt from them..
(I think he will get hurt from everything, dont mind me)... but more importantly I didnt think of the lights and bulbs and I would hate for him to get into that... especially with his little mouth.
A fence may be needed at my house... or maybe as someone said a table top tree... but we really love our big 7 footer so it will be sad not having it this year... I guess we will have to see what happens.
