Poll question: How Tall Is Your Christmas Tree?
Or... if you haven't yet picked one out.... how tall do you expect it will be?

We pick out a tree that almost touches our 8' ceilings. There's just enough room left over to attach a star.

3. Mine's about three feet
It's on a drum table, to keep the cats away. It's very cute, all decorated in red lights. I put lights around my mantel as well, and around the front of my house. It turned out great. The kids next door really love it and it looks like a gingerbread house. :D

6. Yeah me too.
6.5 is average. Why isn't 6 - 7 an option?

Are we still talking about X-mas trees?

12. Mine is actually 6 1/2 feet
but I put my vote in for 5-6. It is pre-lit and really beautiful! Took an amazing 10 minutes to put it up!

14. mine is about 2 feet tall
It's cute and artificial and does the trick. I had it on the floor but I had to move it because the cats knocked it over at least three times.

16. we get two trees at my house
the kids tree it little, maybe 3 to 4 feet tall, and sits on a table by the front window, it has been transformed into the "blue tree" blue ornaments only, since there are no kids in the house anymore. then the big tree is, you know the usual 6-7 feet tall... I wish it was xmas now.

17. I'm planning to adopt next weekend
Do you think I should tell Mr. CMD yet? I'm sure he's expecting me to drag that ugly green monster out of the basement again this year. I want a real tree.:bounce: :bounce:

23. I have a small artificial tree
But it works for me! Christmas is about the spirit, not the size or kind of tree.

Hopefully, it will have that great new U2 album under it, among other things. I don't get the fans that don't like the new one and AYCLB.

24. If we're lucky, it will be about 2-3 feet tall!
I have a great pre-decorated artificial one in the basement. At the moment, I'm too busy with lotsa of other important stuff to do. Maybe next year!
