The BIGGEST real Christmas Tree

Last year we settled for two one-foot trees to decorate our apartment. Last year we weren't here for Christmas. This year we couldn't settle for so little. We stumbled upon a beautiful tree for only $20! I just have to say that it is a good thing that we have vaulted ceilings!
Here are the specs:
9' 4" tall
6' diameter
1400 lights (including star)
Yes, Jodi got mad that it took me five hours to put the lights on, then another three hours to make the star (yes, it is homemade - made from copper that we had stripped over a year ago and had stashed in the garage, plus a strand of blue lights). BUT, it was worth it! Our tree is beautiful! You are all welcome to come and see it!

Big tree yes. Biggest, no. Our is 10' plus a star. It is also 7.5' in diameter. Same amount of lights. Your lights do look better, they always do. The rest of us just aren't crazy enough for that. Enjoy that awesome tree!
