My husband and I had some time together today, Monday. We set out to buy an artificial christmas tree. First I went to Amazon.com for a cyber-monday-deal. Knowing we would like to see and feel our tree, we went to Hobby Lobby. They had gorgeous trees, but were out of our price range. After that, Walmart near us, Home Depot, Sam's Club another Walmart near them, then back to Hobby Lobby. We purchased a 7.5 ft Fast Shape Sonoma Cashmere for half of what the original price. Pre-lit LED with pine cones and variegated needles with light green new growth. So we are home, and the boxed tree is in the garage waiting to be placed in our living room next weekend.
