This is my other dilemma. Larger trees just mean larger storage for 11 months of the year, or 10 if you really love Christmas. Hmm... Then there's more decorations, more lights, more, more, more. I think our home size is average for a starter home. Some might call it "cozy". Just enough to be livable, and the right amount of housework. :P
MrsSunshine, the trees are beautiful. You would really consider a 2 footer? I think my brother has something under 4', and sets it on a table. In family photos, it gets the height he wants, while enough room for all the gifts to stack underneath during large family gatherings, without sacrificing space for people to sit and chat, kids to play, etc. I have to say thinking out loud with you all really helps. Thank you! :love:
