Note: *Shinta only agreed to a tree because I said I would be responsible for taking it down.Dec 2005: Decided not to get cos away for most of December.
Dec 2006: My first proper tree!!! Went to Concourse and picked out a nice dark green one that was slightly taller than me, and red & silver cheapo-balls.
Feb 2007: Tree still up. Decided to take down the decorations as a start. Thought of hanging red packets on tree to celebrate CNY, but too lazy.
Aug 2007: Tree still up. Placed little red flags to celebrate National Day.
Dec 2007: Time to decorate! Wanted to replace half of decorations with a different colour, but mistook colour scheme (thought it was gold and red), and bought more silver items!!!! Discovered cheapo-balls not usable as glue had turned yellow. Bought a few lovely glass balls (ex!!) from I Wanna Go Home and some silvery/white non-ball decorations (flowers, fake-crystal/glass chains, silver leaves).
Feb 2008: Tree still up. Removed decorations when on MC and bored at home.
Dec 2008: Tree still up. Decided to go for a white/silver look, since non-ball decorations still ok. Added these pretty prisms from I Wanna Go Home to glass collection.
Decided that every year, would buy a few nice ("a few" because nice = expensive) glass items to add on to tree. *Shinta pointed out that if we ever have kids, would have to replace everything with plastic ones........ Conclusion: No kids!!!

So...your tree hasn't been taken down for 2 years? At least you're getting full use of it.
Yup. But in my defence, at least the decorations were.... Think of it as a fake tree to decorate the house the rest of the year.
You should spray it with pine scent!
