It's our first time with a cut tree instead of a real small one... We didn't realise it still needed water in the stand, so we are losing one leaves at an alarming rate! However, it survived through to Christmas day, and is going to go out soon!
I guess for proof, I have the post I wrote for Christmas? It is the same photo...

Or when we first brought it in to the house!
