Anyone feel bad for not having a christmas tree?

We have a tree thi syear. ONly because someone bought it for us. WE didn't have one last year as when we moved 1200 miles. That was something that had to be left behind. We had no money at Christmas time to buy a new one. There was another time we did not have a Christmas tree. What we did was get a Christmas table cloth...decorate the table by hanging stuff from the side. ...and we had what we called a Christmas table.

Can't you just get a little tree or is there not room for that either...

im the only one who's celebrating christmas in the family as they are of different religion. it's really sad that i dont have a christmas tree here. whenever i passed by any houses that decorated with the christmas spirit, how i wish i could have the same thing too.....i think i might buy a small tree to put in my room next year!

I can see why your son would feel "different" for now having a christmas tree. We have made this "little" tree that is really easy to make and might at least help him feel he has a tree I hope to get the directions up for it soon, but the scanner needs to be rehooked up first and I can't even show you the picture of the little tree because I am on the laptop and its on the regular computer lol

Not sure if we can afford a tree this year, but I know that the real meaning of Christmas will not be in presents or food or trees but in sharing the love of the Christ Child with my family and friends. You know, you can always buy a small tree to place on a coffee table if you really want to have one. We have gone several years without a tree and it never bothers my children because we can always enjoy other people's. My son likes to put the lights up outside, and his brothers decorate inside the house with garlands around the windows and doors. It's not the THINGS of Christmas that matter. It really is the love and message of Christ the Newborn King we need to share with family and friends.

We did not have a tree this year, but we do not have kids. It was mostly because we just were not in the mood this year. Sometimes we want to, sometimes not. I love the trees but sometimes they are a hassle to deal with.

Well I don't have any kids but we have lots of kids around always in and out of my trailer. I try to be there for my family and sometimes babysit alot so I try to have a tree for them. And I am always having to move my furniture around and usually end up moving something out of the room to be able to place my 6 ft tree outit does my heart good to see there eyes light up and like the compliments. But this year I am not wanting to move my furniture around and put up the bug tree so me and my hubby talked and we have agreed to get a 2-3ft tree and decorate it and set it on our table which you can see clearly from the front room. But maybe he can have a small 2-3ft tree in his room that would make it feel really special for him and I bet excited to have his own little tree. He could watch the little lights flickering as he drifts to sleep. And the small trees aren't to expensive you can get them for a few dollars and decorating his room too would be special. well I hoped this helped some. And that you find a sloution ot your problems. God Bless!

Do you have any plants in pots....I have decorated a pot plant and used that as a christmas tree until I could afford to buy on in the after xmas sales. It looked great and many visitors commented on it

If you want a smaller Christmas tree I saw miniture Christmas trees at target for $5.00. You can find inexpensive Christmas trees for $20 at Walmart, Family Dollar, or Big Lots.

Well we have a small apartment and have no room for a big tree either.I didn't have one last year as well but I didn't feel bad or anything. I don't think I will have it this year either because I just simply don't have a time to put the tree up and also the room isn't that big enough for it.
