Rebecca got me this Christmas tree last year at an after Christmas sale. I had no idea how big this thing was. Daniel had to get me a huge ladder, not a step ladder a window washing , huge ladder to put this puppy up. It took me three hours just to separate the branches. Ridiculous I know. It was sure pretty but I think I am going to have to leave it up all year and just decorate for each holiday because it was so much work. I would recommend getting a small tree.
