Fake. The smell of a real tree makes it very hard for me to breathe.

Real.

Not much of a reason... I just like a live tree better. I don't mind the extra work of watering it and cleaning up the needles at the end of the season.

Also, it makes the house smell nice...

We have fake. No cleanup involved, no getting a new one every year... it's easier.

Fake. We always had a fake tree growing up b/c my mom was afraid of fires. Now for me and DH it's just easy. The lights are on and it looks just as pretty IMO. I buy a candle for the smell!

Re: Those with Christmas trees...Real or Fake?

I've had both in my life.

With DH, we have a fake, b/c he didn't want to get a real tree while living in an apt and have to carry it up stairs to our apt.

In our new home, we're staying with the fake for at leats now b/c we have a puppy and we want to see how she copes with a fake one first before we try a real tree.

Re: Those with Christmas trees...Real or Fake?



I love real trees......

But they are a mess and they dry out quickly if you dont water them every day.

I like to decorate the first week of December for Christmas and having a real tree means I'd have to wait longer to decorate unfortunately.

I love the fake tree we bought. It's tall and looks real!

Re: Those with Christmas trees...Real or Fake?

I used to be so against fake! But now I am all for it. Easier to maintain but the needles still fall off of the damn thing when you are putting it up and taking it down. I find the needles when I move things sometimes.

Also its easier to leave up longer.

100% Real!
IMO, No comparison!

A little water ever night and a little extra vacuuming is so worth it!

Re: Those with Christmas trees...Real or Fake?

i love real trees, but have a fake one. i can keep it up longer w/o worrying about it drying out. Plus, I don't have to worry about it if we go OOT. i like to burn evergreen candles though to get the smell of a real tree in our house. Chat Icon

100% real. Nothing beats the scent, plus I just like the way it looks better. Even the most realistic artificial trees look fake to me.

Re: Those with Christmas trees...Real or Fake?

I love real trees, I love the smell, it is so Christmassy. The last 2 years we have had a fake tree as my two cats seem to be under the impression that the real tree is a play thing for them, which is odd as the first 9 years they paid no attention to it. I was still finding little bells in June. I would prefer a real tree

ITA. In all honesty, I don't see the point of having a fake tree. It's like using canned gravy for Thanksgiving dinner. Chat Icon

Both.
I like the ease of having a fake one, which I can put up earlier (before Thanksgiving).

But DH and I both enjoy our annual trip upstate to find and cut down our real tree with our friends from CT. It's a lot more work, but gotta' love the smell! Chat Icon
