We have a mix of trees, 1 real that we go out and hunt for in the bush, 1 full size artificial, 1 medium artificial and 3 little ones plus all the trimmings all over the house. It's a beautiful time of year!0

Just chopped down our tree yesterday! Real FTW.0

fake one for a fiver from poundstretchers (not bad value because it looks good and is 4 feet tall and the house we live in is tiny so it's just the right size for the house).... plus the bog standard fairy lights for 2.99 also from poundstretchers and a couple of pieces of tinsel. I gave the kids scissors, glue, shiny ribbon and shiny paper and had them make the rest. So the tree has wonky angels, baubles made from scrunched up paper covered in glittery paper, and a hello kitty toy in a gold tissue-paper dress.
Win-win as in it cost very little and the kids had a lot of fun making the stuff for it.0 -

artificial for sure0

I grew up with artificial. I thought about real when I got married but my son has allergies so we played it safe and still did artificial.
Now, my children are all adults and only my 22yr old daughter is still at home. If it were up to me I wouldn't even put one up but she does it while I'm at work. Guess who ends up taking it down and cleaning up the mess?0 -
Fake tree for me. Allergies0

Living in the desert, where all the real pine trees are extremely scraggly AND overpriced, I prefer the artificial, prelit ones. Only once have I ever had to light a real christmas tree, and it was a miserable experience. Never again. Besides, I love the convenience of pulling a box out of storage, putting a few poles together, plugging in a cord, and in less than an hour have a pretty tree up in the living room. That's already paid for. ...And doesn't poke the bejeezuz out of you when you touch it. And is not a fire hazard.0

Real trees: love the scent of pine and taking the family out for traditional purposes, but for the sake of money and mess, artificial for sure.0

Now that my kids are older, we buy a real tree, but only fir trees. My oldest son and I are allergic to both pine and cedar. Keep my inhaler handy when we tree shop. But a real one us soooo worth it!0

I grew up with artificial. As an adult I like real trees.0

I've done both, depending on the House we lived in. We used to have a large home with plenty of space so we did a huge 8 ft real tree. But we've also lived in a small apartment so a tiny fake tree worked best. We put it on a small end table and it saved on space.
This year we're going for a standard 6 ft real tree and we'll put it in the dining room :-) so for me, it's all about the space.0 -
