Holiday Decorating Time!
I don’t know about you, but my Christmas tree is going up in 2 weeks. I am already very excited for the holidays. My hubby and I are heading to my parents’ house in Tucson for Thanksgiving and I want our house to be decked out for Christmas before we leave. Our artificial tree was one of the first purchases we made together 7 years ago, and for the last two Christmas seasons, we’ve vowed to replace it. This year WILL be the year. One tree that really surprised me at just $100 is a Mover and Shaker at Amazon today, the 6.5′ Pre-Lit Multi-Color Lights and Fiber Optic Noble Fir Artificial Christmas Tree. Just $7 shipping, and it actually ships from Christmas Central. It retails at $340, and I would usually expect to see this quality of tree on sale for about twice the $100 price.
I have 8′ ceilings, so this 6.5′ size is perfect for us. After already owning a pre-lit tree, I don’t think I can ever turn back again to the standard, unlit version, and this tree delivers in spades with both pre-strung multi-colored lights AND fiber optics! The tree stand actually has 2 different multi-colored discs that can add color to the fiber optics adorning the branches. Slick. Also, the tips of the branches are lightly frosted, so even a Texan like myself can imagine a white Christmas.
This tree has been kind to reviewers and reviewers have returned the favor, scoring it 4.5 stars after 18 reviews. The general consensus is that it takes 30 minutes to get this tree up and ready for full-on decorating. That’s not bad AT ALL. Our poor little tree takes about an hour…most fluffing branches that no longer have a will to live. 30 mins? Count me it.
Also, as part of Kohl’s 2-Day Sale, check out THEIR Christmas tree sales, too. The 7-ft. Green Douglas Fir Pre-Lit Christmas Tree is on sale for $99.99…half off the $200 retail. It comes pre-strung with white lights.
And while at Kohl’s, take a look at the 6 Different Styles of $200 Ladies Coats on Sale for $85. The Kohl’s sale ends Saturday but it looks like the coat sale is Friday-only.
Yay Christmas!!
