SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 I love the smell and look of real trees. My brother always has one, and it's beautiful. I just put up some little artificial Alpine trees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmie 2 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 I go with fake nowadays. They are so much better then they used to be years ago. I still love the real ones but I find the fakes are so convenient now. I own a very expensive fake tree which looks beautiful when it's all decorated. No one can tell the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beamish 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 When I used to celebrate Christmas, I loved the smell of real trees, but I couldn't justify cutting a live tree down and throwing it away. The newer fake trees look pretty good, so I wouldn't mind having one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wild1forever 152 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 Real. We had a fake tree when I was little, and I despised it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 I like real, but have a fake. I got tired of having real cut trees that are already cut at this date to be on sale for xmas 2011, they are dried out weeks before xmas with needles all over the floor that you can't get all cleaned up for months!! And you're afraid to turn the lights on way before xmas cuz the tree will catch fire and burn the house down. Years ago we used to buy real potted blue spruces that we planted in the yard after xmas and that was cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndreaM 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 We've always had fake ones. Dad was always afraid of a real one catching fire. At this point, we don't bother unless we know someone's coming to the house. I despise the hassle of putting up a tree. I got a little one from a friend at work a couple years back, but we've yet to put it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
