Real or Artificial? The Christmas tree debate.

Just got our REAL tree today.
It's pretty big... floor to ceiling. If I had to guess, I'd say it's like 9 ft?
My tree was $54.99... but I get trees for free because my family owns a local business that sells Christmas trees in the winter.0 -

We've always had a fake tree. I don't see the point of getting a real one tbh.0

Real or nothing.

Fake for sure!! Pay $30 once, have a pretty tree for years; no worry about pets; no pine needles to sweep and vacuum; no struggle with dragging a real tree home, etc.0

Sometimes with real trees you get a free squirrel! BONUS!!0

Since my family got a dog who had a taste for pine needles, we've gotten an artificial tree and used it every year. It doesn't bother me either way, although I'm one of those people who puts a "pine fresh" car air freshener in the tree to make it seem authentic.
However, my parents told me that since both my brother and I are away at college now, they don't see a point in decorating that much for Christmas...even though we'll both be home from the week before Christmas to the week after New Year's. #wut0 -

Because fake trees are fake. Real ones smell like Christmas.0 -
I'm allergic to real ones so I have to go artificial. However I've had the same tree for years so think of all of the money I've saved!!!0

From the earliest time I can remember, I've always grown up with an artificial Christmas tree. It was easy to put together, take down, and I didn't have to worry about pine needles (which I am allergic to) all over.
But I was in a relationship in the 90's where my GF at the time was so "Earthy", that she refused to have an artificial tree. So for 3 years I endured, buying a tree, finding a way to make it balance correctly in the stand, clean up pine needles, and then drag it out of the house to get rid of it.
After that relationship, I went directly back to having an artificial tree and have never looked back.
So I just put my tree up, and with a smile, sprayed some "pine tree scent" to finish the job.
So real or artificial for you?

Does anybody still make the pre Christmas tree old English kissing boughs? Two large hoops, made into a ball shape, each one wound with holly and fir, suspended from the ceiling with a red/green tartan ribbon and with real mistletoe at the bottom. Great if you have a big hall, and what an excuse for dear old uncle as he comes in.0

I prefer my Christmas tree to be free of processing and toxins, so real all the way like paleo man once did.0

A very real looking artificial one so I can put it up nice and early and enjoy it longer. I love Christmas and want to squeeze everything I can out of it.1

Only ever real. I grew up with a mother who thought artificial trees were the work of the devil - LOL - I have never been able to change my own mind on that one.0
