[jessicatwister]

real

[rondrond]

I don't really care as long as i have a Christmas tree, that is decorated nice and that i have some presents underneath it!

  yeah buddy. One year, I had a large bushy branch cut off a tree and I hung it on the wall and decorated it. ..hey, I've seen these trees that look like the back was cut off so they would go against the wall...whether for monetary reasons or space, because let's face it...you gotta have room to put it up and walk around it and still have living space...especially with kids....

I prefer real

I have been looking at the artificial trees that are in the stores now. I will probably get a real one though. I live in Oregon and can go and cut one down in the forest for a small fee. When we lived in Oklahoma we had an artificial one because the real ones were to expensive. I really prefer a real tree where you have the smell of pine in your house and I don't mind the needle mess, because all you have to do is put something down plastic under it.

I love fresh trees because of the smell but its a hassle to bring from the lot..... i think ima try to buy the artificial tree

I believe a high quality artificial tree will be better in the long run. Not all fake trees look very fake, I mean they have come quite a long way. Having said that though, it might be fun to get a real tree one year and go through the whole process. Only problem is the cleanup afterwards, which I heard can be a real horror. Even still, most definately would not do that every year, and would prefer saving money with a tree that always stays green and well. (plastic )

I like real trees but I always end up with a fake one. Maybe this year I can do both. Now that is a thought.

Usually I use a tabletop artificial one but my grand daughter is here and I'm thinking of putting up a real one this year. She can help make ornaments. It will be fun.

We always go to a Christmas tree farm and chop one down ourselves.  I love the smell of a real tree.

We always had a real one growing up, I couldn't even imagine having an artificial one til I moved to a different state and the real trees were just as expensive as an artificial one. So we got an artificial one to reuse year after year, and when I realized how much easier it was to take care of (and that I didn't have to worry so much about it catching fire) I was hooked. But now that all my kids are grown, I mostly prefer none at all

I used to go to a Christmas Tree Farm and cut my own but lately I've had artificial trees although I don't like them nearly as well.

I prefer the real kind but I haven't put up a tree in a long time. This year I won't even be home during Christmas.

Fake is fine with me no cleaning, and the smell of strong pine gives me a headache.

[Joeyramone]

Artificial.  Only because the clean up is easy.

I LOVE having a real tree!! They smell so nice! I just don't like having to have a tree butchered from its roots so it can go in my house. : I've only had a real tree for Christmas maybe twice. Artificial are nice too, if you have a decent looking one. You don't have to keep them in water and they're not nearly as heavy nor do they shed needles. I'd like to get a real one this year, but unfortunately it's not an option this year. I don't have much space so I may not even get to have an artificial tree either. ):

I would like to have a live tree but is will die and I like to put up my tree the day after Thanksgiving.  We had a live tree when we lived on a farm and my children and I like that and it smelled so good.  Now my children have familys of their on and some of my grand children have familys of their own.  I miss everyone getting to gether for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
