Real or Artificial Christmas tree ?

[Dddrgn 450]

Real ones are a mess, but I absolutely love the feeling that they put off inside your house! Also, that smell. mmm.

We always use artificial trees, because we're lazy and they're much less of a hassle. Plus, you can store 'em for next year, for even less difficulty.

Sadly we switched to an artificial tree a few years back. I personally would have preferred to have a real tree but my parents thought fake was the way to go.

Fake, just for practical reasons, and it's not bad looking either. I did always have a real tree since I was born and into my teens. Maybe one day the real tree will return in the future when it feels like a good idea.

Both, used to have an artificial one but lately have had real trees. I like them both and I don't feel like there is any difference except that a real one needs a little cleaning up afterwards but I like them both.

I'd much rather have a fake tree. You can use it again every year and it doesn't necessitate deforestation. It's more eco-friendly and it doesn't require that much maintenance and cleaning every time you bring it in the house and then take it out again.

Real ones, I tend to enjoy the pine scent

I'd prefer a real tree, since it sets a higher holiday mood. Though, thing is, I just can't be bothered to go outside in the cold and search for one.

Plus I have a cat that LOVES getting into the tree. He already gets in the fake one, so just imagine what it'll be like with a real one.

Fake, it's a one time investment, while the cost of real trees add up over the years.

we have one fake tree we use every year. Saves a lot of money over time. :3

My family has always used fake ones- reusable, environmentally friendly, plus they tend to have built-in lights- I've grown to like them. A real one might be nice someday though.

If I could buy both kinds of trees for my apartment, I would.

My family always uses a fake tree. So, I will continue the tradition of using fake trees when I have my own family to take care of, or a real tree if my wife asks nicely.

Real, even though I'll probably end up using a fake one in my future for less money spent. However, all of us in our family love the smell of pine, so we get a real one every year.

We used to get real trees, but we switched over to artificial a few years ago. I like the real trees because of their scent, and they generally look better, but I like the fake ones too because they're tidier, require less upkeep, and you can bend the bows so that you never have ''bad branches'' to hang the ornaments from.
