Do you buy a fake or do you go real?  :present:

I use artiicial beause the real ones leave such a mess if you put up to early.  I do get some wreaths for the great smell though.

Always fake. Easy to put up. Easy to put away.

we have an artificial tree although the storm the other day knocked down one of our trees and I thought maybe we could keep it for a live one this year, but a closer look showed too many bords nest in there to bring in the house.

No tree at all.  Haven't had a tree since I was about 11 years old.

I like the real trees but so they dont like dry out soo soon after getting them I wait a week or two before Christmas to get one because normally tree lots get a fresh batch once every 4-5 days . But even after cut they can still basicly suck up water for a brief time if you know what to do usually water and asprin help keep them from drying out right away after bringing them home.  Besides i love the scent of fresh pine

I use an artificial tree because I am 66 years old and I can't handle all the work involved with having a real tree.  I love the smell of a real tree, but can't deal with the mess.

We always had a real tree when I was growing up.  The smell was wonderful.  After I got married, we had a real tree for many years, but after hand picking pieces of cedar from my carpet that the vacuum wouldn't get, we switched to artificial.  I used my mother's old tree for years, but my daughter gave me a new one last year.  It's beautiful, but I miss having the colored lights.

No tree at all but if I had one I would go for the fake, because they are easy to put up and take down. And I like real trees also.

I have had both artificial and real. I like the real Christmas trees. My artificial I bought it on an extreme sell the hobby lobby shown trees just like the real show and wow it was like $300 and got it for like $50. I was grateful for it because my kids were young and like to take care of the tree and really not the clean up.
