Christmas tree up yet?

Ours has been up since last weekend. Plastic tree for me. Refuse to have another real tree after the fiasco we had one year. My wife always had real trees at home and wanted the kids to experience it. So we go to a tree farm and cut our own tree down and go to pay for it and they shake and net tree. Got home put up and all was well for about a week and a half. Woke up one morning and looked at wall and was covered with prey mantis! Looked on tree and they were all over the branches like ornaments. Woke up wife and her and I stripped the ornaments off and I tossed it out in the yard. Got the shop vac and sucked them up. Later I looked through the branches and found 2 cocoons made of mud attached to center of tree. Fake tree ever since.
