Phooey on Artificial

Whoever said that artificial Christmas trees are cleaner than real Christmas trees has not met our artificial Christmas tree. We are still finding "needles" from the tree all over the apartment. Like, sometimes in my bed or in my bathroom...or in the laundry room. We have vacuumed since then but they are stubborn and don't like to be sucked up by the vacuum. Granted, it was a new tree this year, but I still did not expect it to shed that much. Maybe next year will be better. Or we will still have needles on the ground when we put the tree up next year, not sure which.
