I use to do real trees all the time. Now I just do fake. I have a fiberoptic tree up now. It's really neat.

Real tree is much pretty and classic but it is not that good for the environment. So I think Fake tree is a good solution for a tree without the hassle of cleaning then getting rid of it after Christmas (they usually burn it here on a big fire pot and I think this is horrible and some other deliver it to the parish and they use it as a natural barrier in the MS river).
You can even store the fake tree and reuse it :)

we have kids with allergies in this house so we cant have a real tree so we have a fake tree
-
Real tree all the way. Love the smell of the house with a real tree. I must say some of the fake trees look very real, but they don't have the smell

Oh, I am like you. I would :heart: to have a real tree, but unfortunately, I am not able to since I live in a very small apartment. My parents would always have a real tree when I was little and I remember the whole house smelling like pines. It brings back some great memories of me being little and opening presents with the whole house smelling like Christmas. :angel11:

I will put up a real tree until the day comes that I can no longer handle doing it on my own. I always get a Frasier Fir because they're soft (not prickly), have very full branches and last longer than any other type. I live in a huge 1800's home so my main tree is usually 9-10 feet tall and if I have time, I also put up 1 or 2 other smaller trees in different rooms. I have been working a lot of hours and this is the first year in ages I have not gone out Thanksgiving weekend, gotten my tree(s) and started decorating. I need to get going on it, but right now all I really have the energy for is eating, sleeping and jumping on here for a short time. It WILL get done..... ;)

real tree, love the fresh smell :D
-
Fake tree. Portable, reusuable, cost-effective, AND better looking.
-
If giving a choice I would always have a real tree. The pine smell in the house is amazing and I haven't found any candle or spray scent that
can replace that. I do have a beautiful fake tree my MIL gave me when I was married. I am glad I have it because the last 10 years I have
not been able to afford a real tree. I do get lots of compliments on it but it is just not the same.
-
FAKE TREE BECAUSE THEY LAST ALL YEAR ROUND THAN REAL TREE AND FAKE TREE COME ALREADY DECORATED THAN REAL TREE
-
Fake...they're fuller and visually appealing. Wait, we're talking about trees, right!?
-

-

-

-
fake tree, real ones r to much work and give me a headache :BangHead:
-
Go with fake, real tree needles are a pain in the butt, no pun intended. ;D
-
Fake. I don't have time to mess with a real one.
-
Fake for many years....not the best, but works!
-
We have a real tree but its so small and its probably going to take a long while for it to grow, but we have a fake tree.
-
it doesnt matter to me but i think a fake tree is better in the long run as far as cost
-
We always had a real tree and sometimes we would go and cut one ourselves and drag it in the house, but oh my, sometimes getting it in the stand was quite a job. I didn't really care for all the needles on the carpet. We didn't have the nice bags to put under the tree like they have now.
-
only use real tree once when my daughter's class was throwing away the tree. now i just use fake tree.
-
my mom always wanted a real white christmas tree but those are hard to find
-
I have a fake tree, but I do want to get a real tree at least once before I am unable to get it anymore. I have 3 small kids and one LARGE dog, so the fake tree is easier to set back up if it gets knocked down.
-
although real trees are beautiful and bring a nice smell into the house I prefer fake I did real for many years but fake trees are less of a fire hazard and not as messy and fake trees have come a long way alot of them look very much real
-
my sons first christmas, my first christmas in my own home..we're going with a real tree this year!
