Not sure why but dad always bought a flocked tree and we would get two years out of it. Later I always had a real tree until one time one of the cats launched himself from the kitchen counter at it......
So in 2001 we went looking and found a very nice fiber optic tree. Guess the light makers did not like that one because they kind of went away. I absolutely love it and everyone else does as well since we always a couple of knocks on the door the last couple of years from people wanting to know if we will sell it or where we bought it.
So we now try and take good care of the bundles. I hope to get another 6-10 years out of it.
