Does anyone else *not* have a christmas tree?
We're not having a christmas tree for a variety of reasons:
1. We'll be out of town from about the 18-31st.
2. I'm sort of jewish
3. I'm allergic to real ones, and DH only likes real trees
4. Fire hazard, especially if we leave it up unattended for two weeks (and we're both firefighters, so that's probably bad).
5. I don't own any decorations and I refuse to pay full price for anything.
Is anyone else not having a tree?

I don't put one up. My cat would have it knocked over in a hot second, and I'm not willing to fight that fight with him.
The first Christmas I had him, my roomate put up a tree. He knocked it over every.single.night.
No tree here. I am Jewish and I leave it to DH if he wants a tree. He says the tree doesn't mean anything to him, so I am not sure if we will ever get one. Also I am afraid of all the decorations we would receive from my MIL if we did get one.
We spend Christmas Day with my ILs anyways so I will tell DD that "Christmas lives at grandma's house."
No three here. We're moving on Saturday, I highly doubt we'll get one up. If MIL finds the stuff and feels motivated to put the tree up she's welcome to, otherwise it might get put up in a week or so.
We do however had a tree trunk (think huge tree timber in the middle of the house) in our new house, so maybe I'll put some lights on it and call it good.
We'll probably get one, but not until next weekend. We try to get through birthday season in our home before we move on to Christmas.
In our family, MIL's birthday is right before Thanksgiving, DH's is usually the week of Thanksgiving. Then my late father. Then DS is today. Then my mom is Thursday. Then my BIL and I are both next Tuesday. I'm willing to have my birthday while there's a tree up, but I won't do that to DS.
