The Real Deal: Tree Time

 The Real Tree...

For our 6th Christmas in Shanghai, we've treated ourselves to a real Christmas tree!

Friends tested their fake tree for lead content last year and the results were painfully high so we tossed our's and have been on a search since for a place to buy a real evergreen.

It cost a small fortune, but we can rest easy that it's lead-free.

...and faux fire!

Our video fireplace scene is still as fake as fire gets!

But takes remarkably realistic photos!
