So last year we decided to have fresh tree for Christmas and here is what it looked like:
It was a beautiful tree - smelled so good but the pine needles and constant watering was a pain.
We don't have a big tree up this year; I haven't decided if we will get one. But I did get my kids each a tree:
They are tiny 1 foot trees but the kids got to pick out some beads and mini ornaments for them and decorate. They loved the trees and are sitting on our mantle.
They each spent about 30 minutes trimming their trees:
We haven't decided on a tree yet. This might be as far as we get on trees for this Holiday Season. The stockings are hung and I have some other things out but we are going simple this year. And spending more time with family b/c that is what is important.
Love the small trees! I have one but it's more as a centerpiece for the dining room table. You should get a small one. Where do all the kids' ornament go? Mine love looking for ones that they made or that have their pictures in them.

Aww that's an adorable idea - each of the kids having their own mini-tree! :)
