The best part about having a real tree at Christmas is that you get to burn it afterwards.

Then it scares you because you think holy shit, what if that caught on fire in my living room.

My mum's Danish so we have real candles on our tree. That's just what they do in Scandinavia I think but it makes everyone else freak out.

Wut? Are you serious?

How does the tree not go up in flames instantly?

Are your pine trees less flammable or something? Here in the states, they will go up in flames extremely quickly.

[–]thatsgreat2345 0 points1 point ago

They usually go up in flames because idiots forget to keep them watered.

[–]down_vote_magnet 0 points1 point ago

Because you put the candles on little holders that sit the candle upright. You just put the candles in a place where there's no branches directly above the flame and you don't leave the tree unattended.

It's really not as crazy as it sounds. My mum says she's never heard of anyone in Denmark having had their tree go up in flames.

[–]MardukSlayerOfTiamat 0 points1 point ago

I noticed you mentioned to not leave the tree unattended. Does that mean you snuff out the candles when you're not in the room?

Gah, I read that as "real candies" at first and was confused about this and the other replies.

You don't put it on the curb like normal people?

[–]happypolychaetes 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But setting it on fire is so fun. You should try it sometime...

[–]MissCharmCity 1 point2 points ago

I'd probably end up burning down my house. I'll save that fun for someone else.

[–]jrhoffa 2 points3 points ago

You want someone else to burn down your house?

I have a business proposal for you

Ah, the old reddit downvote.

For me it's more like FML

Fake trees are the way to go.

[–]down_vote_magnet 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Completely disagree. Fake trees suck.

It's nice having a real tree, the smell of the pine, etc.

[–]studmuffffffin 6 points7 points ago

You can get a fake pine scent.

Why not just get a fake soul

[–]theblitheringidiot 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Real trees in my area are damn expensive. I've love so much to just dig out some gnarly little Florida pine but the little lady won't have it. So fake tree it is.

[–]FinSamar 1 point2 points ago

I got a fake soul the other day, having sold my soul as a 9 year old boy in exchange for $1,000,000 -- not bad, really, would recommend to others.

[–]SometimesATroll 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Where did you get that kind of money for your soul? I brought mine in to a local dealer and he offered $45! Probably because I'm a horrible person, but still!

[–]FinSamar 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

9 year old boys are known for their especially pure souls, and few willingly give theirs away.

I don't know, getting sap all over the place sucks.

I love vacuuming up the needles. My favorite time of the year.

[–]akatherder 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's like cleaning a toilet that's way overdue or finally dusting off the back of a TV that's wedged in an entertainment center. Cleaning sucks, but at least it's rewarding to see the difference as you do it.

[–]xgdhx 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What's even better is if you have a vacuum that has a bag, all the needles will be sticking out of the full bag.

[–]Chachoregard 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I just did that yesterday! It's like the most rewarding thing when you have a vaccuum and all you hear is hrrrsksksskskssksskHRSKSKSKSKSKSKKKKKKHRHSKSKSKSvrrrrrrrrr....

Came here expecting a step-brothers reference. Was not disappointed.

Having had to rearrange to make room for the tree, I was so excited when I took the tree down that I did a little dance!

You don't need permission from us to build bunkbeds. You're adults, you can do what you want.

I'm not making myself clear... I don't give a fuck.

Put it away? It's only January. Doesn't the putting away act typically occur around June? You people are motivated!

Funnily enough that's the same reaction I would have if these repetitive memes were removed from /r/funny

This can also be used to describe how one feels after manscaping.

This is so true....my husband and I had to re-arrange and move our kitchen table out of our living room/dining room area in order to fit the Christmas tree in it's proper spot in front of the window. Looked pretty-but it's nice to have the extra room back...and our kitchen table.

My immediate thought after I hauled away the tree yesterday was: I should buy something to put here!

Watched this movie the other night for the first time in awhile. Still makes me laugh at this part.
