Well the tree is history, Next year I think I need a tad smaller tree...well maybe not...I have 10 foot ceiling, and I like the tree to touch the ceiling. But it could be a bit narrower, as it takes up almost 1/4 of the room.
To get it out, we took all the ornaments off and cut off the top, took that outside and then cut off the branches one by one, and carried them out, much better than trying to drag it out in one piece.
