We have an artificial tree.  When the kids were young, we did go to a tree farm to cut our own.
Maybe we will do that when the grandson gets older....

We generally get two trees. We get a nine foot tree for our front room and than we get a potted live tree that stands about three feet tall. Typically these are bought the day after Thanksgiving and decorate both trees the Sunday after Thanksgiving which gives us a whole month to enjoy the fresh pine smell. We trim the trees and use the parts that have been trimmed off to make a wreath for the front door. We take the decorations down December thirtieth and take the nine foot tree to a recycling area in the neighborhood or cut it up and use it in our fire pit through out the year.. In May we replant the potted tree somewhere in our yard or the neighborhood.  This year I have a spot picked out in our front yard, where we lost a fruit tree, for the potted tree. We try to provide a greener world.

Now that we are down to my two grown sons and myself - we just have a small tabletop tree.  It is big enough for us I just can't imagine not having anything.  Speaking of Christmas this is the first year in forever I have all my shopping done.  Just buy for my two sons but its done none-the-less.  Shop online because I have such a hard time getting around, got them some cool presents just waiting for them to ship in yay

Since it's only my hubby and I, we dont get a tree.  Normally we spend Xmas with at my parents place so they get a tree.

I like buying real trees because I like to throw them away instead of storing them til next year.

I use a coconut tree. sometimes with fruits and sometimes without. When I do have fruits on them, it's the most beautiful christmas tree ever. But you have to have lots and tons of presents in order to utilize this type of tree.

We have an artificial tree. I don't know how long my parents have had it but it's been there since I was baby at least. It's about 4 feet tall. We have to put it up on a table because the dogs think that the ornaments are toys.

I love the real tree because of the smell just fills the house. I get a tree even when I am alone,lol. Kids are grown, and they are going other places this year.

I personally like the Real trees, but with Carpet in my house they are a pain to handle, so I bought an artificial one that I kept for about 16 years, until 2 years ago when I decided it was time to get a new one, so I threw away the old one and last year shopped for a new artificial tree and this time I got it with lights on, so it is easier to put up and down.

Since I live in Oregon, real trees are all over. We usually get a Noble Fir or Grand Fir, but this year I plan to use a Douglas Fir from my back yard.

I decided to go with a 4 foot pre-lit artificial tree because....I have CATS.

Because I have CATS, the tree will get decorated early Christmas morning...and I'm quite positive they'll have taken it down shortly thereafter...

I'll be decorating it with cat toys:  toy mice, colorful toyballs. a bird with lots of feather as the "topper".  Because if you can't "beat them", ya might as well "join them".

(They'll be supervised to make sure they don't chew the lights or branches, etc...)

The dog will be getting his own decorated 4 footer too, only his will be decorated with dog cookies.   ;D

My dad bought an artificial tree real cheap one year so we have just been using that. We use to get a real tree each year. I am glad those days are done. I think it is a waste of money.

When I lived on my own, I had a beautiful artificial 6 foot Douglas Fir, pre-lit with lights that could either be solid color, solid white, or transition from color to white. I still have that tree, and it's in storage right now. But living with my fiance in his parents' house, they have a thin, 6 or 7 foot artificial tree, not pre-lit. I helped them decorate it today. Then a few days ago, my fiance was able to get from his job a 4 foot, pre-lit white tree with white lights. I never really used white trees, but I think it looks really nice with the ornaments we added to it and it's special because it's kind of like our first Christmas tree.

A maybe 5 foot tall artificial tree that we'll be putting up and decorating soon. I never could understand someone chopping down a tree to use for a month and then tossing it out!!! Seems unnecessary and cruel to nature. :-\

As a child they were all real. The whole bit of going with Dad to cut down the tree in three feet of snow and then take family pictures with the decorated tree. For comparison of course to the rest of the family at my grandma's, the matriarch, house for the biggest spread ever. Ohh those were some good days. Now fake and dinner for two.

We unfortunately do not have sufficient space for a tree, but we spend the holiday at my daughter's and she has a gorgeous one that we get to heartily enjoy along with our new baby granddaughter.

We have a cheap tree from Wal-mart.  My husband and I bought it last year.  It was a really big deal for him to go out and get a tree together.  I'm glad we got it... and after seeing a tree priced at $1000 in Hobby Lobby - I'm glad we only had gone to wal-mart.
