I always loved the smell of the tree.
I think I will have a real tree again at some point, but probably not as the main tree.
I really miss it when I see people taking their trees home- it was such a happy custom going to get the tree.
Good memories so say the least. I do get some of the pine scented ornament sticks. They do add a nice aroma...
