nothing beats the real tree smell0

For me, it's gotta be real. But if you are allergic, then I'd go artificial.0

I go artificial. The real ones are a fire hazard and contain over 20,000 insects on average. I'll pass.
Plus a fake one is a one-time investment.0 -
Definitely prefer real!!!0

Had real trees for about 58 years. Three years ago I bought a fake tree. This is the third year we have put it up. It's pretty. It's paid for. The lights are already attached, so all my wife does is add the other decorations. It's not a fire hazard.
I do miss the smell of the natural tree, but on Christmas, halfway through my 5th Hot Buttered Rum with the smells of Turkey and Ham cooking, I don't even notice.0 -
I prefer artificial because it lasts years and years and you don't have that crappy pine-leaves-falling-on-the-floor kind of situation.0

My husband is allergic to real. And I probably am too.
So fake. we have an awesome "slim" tree that fits into the corner and I love it. Yay Walmart0 -
