Does putting a tree covered with lights in your house make you happier?

Nope and i don't put a tree up. But when my mom puts the tree up in my parent's house, it makes her happy...so that's fine with me.

I hate trees. Xmas is a good excuse to kill one and then humiliate it with various cheesy trappings and lights before throwing it out by the curb. :evil:

Yes, because it just does :) If anything, it brings back memories. It's not Christmas without a tree :)

I am Jewish, but I loved having a tree for New Years as a kid. Gotta love USSR for taking religious traditions and secularizing them :D
I put up Christmas decorations this year mainly to cover the ugly metal fireplace that my landlord will not remove from my apartment. ;)

sorry, I don't deal with symbols of worship of the pagan sun god that the world misinterprets as an association with the son of God.

Hmm, I don't meet a lot of tree-hating cyclists. :p

I figure with all the fossil fuel I'm saving, I can whack a few trees and still come out even. ;)

Admit it, you just don't want anyone's view of your thong to be obscured by the foliage.

The woman insists. I made concessions last year and bought a 24" fiber optic tree on clearance that we'll probably put up in a few weeks.

If I had kids I would likely put one up, because I think it would be fun to do that with them. I remember decorating the tree as a kid, and it was a fun tradition. I haven't put one up in years, because I really see no point in putting one up for myself.

That's cool.

All the family member insist on getting us presents, so we have to get presents for them.

I, personally, don't believe that I ever do anything that would deserve a present.

Yes, actually it does. It brings back memories, they smell good, and it's fun to decorate the tree with my fiancee.

My Ex always made me get a tree but since I have been single I stay home by myself treeless.
