What do you prefer?
-
No viewing preference both are pretty;but financially $40.00- 60 for a fake is better than that amount every Christmas if your mostly broke.
-
Real Christmas, love the smell.
-
no question a real tree.
I love the smell and the look of real trees
-
Real, love the smell, but I have seen some faux trees that look just as good and you almost cannot tell the difference; I guess cost would play a factor also.
-
I prefer a real tree, but I have an artificial one and it serves its purpose.
-
My family has always had a fake so I can't comment about much else....
-
i perfer real but i do faux..... :star:
-
Both.
I've always had a Faux tree though because I hated always having to buy a new tree, and a lot of real trees end up in the dumpster which is sad. But when you have a wood burning fireplace those real trees make the perfect addition to a wood pile.
I'm not a big fan of the pine smell, but I know you can get essential oils you can add to your faux trees and it smells pretty much the same. The new ones come with the lights built in, too.
So I do have a lean towards the fake trees because I don't have to invest a lot into it and worry about if it's dying. I have a hard enough time keeping potted plants kicking.
But we used to have a pine tree that we decorated outside. It was the best of both worlds.

Since I live in Oregon where a good part of our economy depends on the Christmas Tree business, I vote for real.
-
I have always had real and would be weird to have a fake one.
-
Real ones smell good but I like the fake ones. We've always had a fake tree. I've always liked the pink Christmas trees.
-
I do love "real trees" but for two reasons I usually have a "fake" tree - first my cats would go bananas with a real tree and second I really am allergy to the pine scent in the house.
-
I prefer a live Christmas tree instead of the Fax Christmas tree. I love the smell that goes throughout the house and it just makes me feel happy, more in tune with the holiday.

I love the smell of a real Christmas tree, but because of my allergies I can't have one. So I guess the faux is better then not being able to breath. Also I don't have to clean up all the needles when the tree is time too go. The last time I was in a house with a live tree, was a house a niece and I were renting. She drug this big tree home without asking me and proceeded to set it up. I came home and oh wow. had too pen all the windows for awhile. Slept with windows open in my room. Thank heavens I was not there much. Oh yeah the gas bill was really high. And guess who finally had to take the dang tree out. Yep me. Kept at her to get it down, always seemed liked she other things too do. So I just drug the whole thing out , Finally I could breath good.

I prefer the faux trees, able to reuse them!
-
I prefer the real one because it smells so good!
-
I prefer a Faux Tree, no mess and you don't have to threw it away.
-
We usually get a real tree which is great during the holiday season, however the clean up is usually a mess.
-
my apartment isn't big enough for a tree.
I have seen tree needles all over the place when people buy the real tree.
When I was little, we had a silver one.
My brother discovered a green one you could buy with the lights on them.
You just pull the tree out of the box and fluff it out. Then, stand it up.
whichever one you buy, it won't be perfect.
There is always some challenge in putting one up.
-
I have had them both. They are expensive. Love the smell of the real.
-
My preference is for a fake Christmas tree. You pay for one once and can use it many times.
-
ive gone to fake. no watering and no nettles all over the place. easy clean up and so far my tree has lasted 3 years.
-
Real christmas trees smell good but they can dry out after a while and are messy to remove so I have been using a faux one for a long time.
-
Fake trees are better because you can put them away every year. :present: :present:
-
I love the smell of pine and all thwt. I prefer artificial. I get frustrated trying to keep my house clean as it is.
-
I rather have a real tree, because I like the look and feel of a real Christmas tree.
-
I love the real trees because I love the smell and after the holidays, I can just put it outside instead of fold it and put it in a box.
-
I like the real ones, but when I have my own place I will probably get a faux one.
-
I prefer a real one in the woods! Please, do not cut Christmas trees...leave them in the forest!
-
I had a real tree when I was a kid but I have an artificial one now.
-
I'm allergic to real trees so we have a faux tree but we use little sticks that smells like evergreens to make it feel real. I love the look of both but faux tree is the best for me. :)
-
I have a fake tree. I have kids, cats, and a massive dog. I think he'd pee on the tree and the cats would be in it all the time. We actually are getting a new one since ours looks like Charlie Brown's adult version of a tree.
