Trees of course. What did you think I was talking about?
For those with a Christmas/Yule/Jul/Holiday tree.

Growing up we always had real. Hubby and I have a scrawny fake one for now.0

I have to admit I LOVE a fake tree, I grew up with it and when I got older I decided to try a real one...............not for me though lol. Needles everywhere, hard to hang ornaments on, you have to remember to water it, didn't shape very well and you have to throw it away. I can appreciate people wanting a real tree but it's just not for me.0

I prefer a real tree but I have a fake one so I put it up every year.0

I have found a happy med. I put up real garland but have a fake tree. I have a fake one because not only is it a mess, I simply don't want to afford a new huge tree every year that will fit in my living room with really high vaulted ceilings. The windows in there are huge and it looks silly to have a smaller tree in there.0 -
I love the smell of real trees! We also make it a fun tradition of all going to pick one out together.0

fake. Saves having to get a new one each year, and saves having to dispose of it after0

Thank you for including Yule!! My Yule tree is fake. Less mess!!! Although this year since Dexter is deployed, I've opted not to put anything up.0

Real.
When I didn't have room, I had those little rosemary trees (then dried the rosemary for use during the year). This year we managed to make room for a little 4 foot tree, but couldn't find a live one, so we're going to buy one this spring and keep it in a pot in the yard (I live the PacNW so fir trees are commonly planted around here and easy to keep alive from Yule to Yule).0 -
I love our fake one, my mum and dad bought it together when they first got married and it's been out family tree ever since. I love my christmas tree, it's more special when you get to keep it and use it year after year (:0

every time ive got a real tree, its been with the intention of keeping it alive for next year, but somehow they always die. Im normally good with plants but i cant keep a xmas tree alive for love nor money0

I'm confused. Do you get the tree with the roots still on it? If you're getting a cut tree, there's no way to keep it alive for a year.0 -
REAL!! They smell good, and they're cheaper!! :bigsmile:0

Cheaper? We got real trees every year until last year, and always spent $50-75 for a decent tree.
My fake tree was cheapie cheap at $30.
Even if the real one is cheaper at the time than a fake one, you don't keep buying a fake one year after year.0 -

Really?? My real tree last year was $20, and the fake ones I saw were $50+... But yes, in the long run it is cheaper, since you don't replace them yearly! But the smell... AND you don't have to assemble the things, or store the tree during off-season... the list goes on
...I also like the experience of picking out a tree... call me silly, but I feel like I'm giving the tree a "home" or something... I tend to anthromorphize things a LOT. :laugh:0 -
We live in Oregon. We can pick up a tree on any corner for $30 or less.0
