Real or Artificial Christmas Trees

We have had both real and artificial trees. I like a tree that you don't kill to sit inside a home, let it dry out, and haul it away. With our artificial tree we go out to the shed. Set it up in the house. Fix the branches, decorate, and tah dah!

Real trees are a mess, pine needles everywhere. I live alone and always spend Christmas away with family, so I just get a nice wreath for my apt.

hum... i think i prefer Artificial ones- the realt trees will die at the end, and i don't like that...

reallllllllllll

Artificial cause it last forever without any of the mess. But nothing beats the smell of a real Christmas tree

fake, my son will be 1 on christmas and i dont want him eating and pine needles

How do you know she would be allergic to a real tree? How does mold equate with a real tree?? I live in a forest and every year we get a permit to cut down our own tree for x-mas. It's a great day for everyone. Though I have to admit I have seen some very nice artificial ones.. Just can't imagine not having a real pine tree...

I never get a real one just one i can use year after year. Real ones are to much of a hassle to clean up when christmas is over.

I like real ones but they make a mess so I usually put up a fake one instead.

Hello there and happy day to ya! I love real trees..I love the smell..and there so full..I never liked the fake because they look so skimpy..and i never have the extra cash to get a really good fake one..its hard being a single mom..heck its hard enough being a mom lol..anywho..untill a few years ago I blew out my back at work..and have had 3 back surgeries,,and i now cant have real trees because i cant get down to water the tree,,:( soo I had to get a fakey..but..its a white one..something i always wanted as a child and mom thought they were ugly..WELL NANEE NANEE BOO BOO MOM LOL LOL..and its ok..i just deck the heck out of it to make it look fuller..lol..

fake, they dont make as much of a mess

Fake tree. less of a mess.

I love the smell of real christmas trees, it just adds to that whole christmas spirit i think. However right now i dont even have a tree but if i did it would have to be fake...i only see palm trees here there dont seem to be any christmas trees on the beach. As for your daughters allerigies it would prob be best to have a fake tree. Or if you do have a real tree keep it well watered and dont leave it up to long.

artificial, I love real but cleaning up after them is a pain, I find needles months later!

I have an artificial tree also. I like these better than live trees. Live trees cause danger for a fire and they also can get messy. I love my fake tree I put it up decorate it, take it down and don't have to worry about a fire or cleaning up all the leaves that fall.

I love real trees but, when my children were growing up my son was allergic to real trees he has asthma. So, I started purchashing artificial trees I like them because, they come with the lights already attached now adays. God Bless

Real ones smell so nice and look really pretty..but they cause a big mess. We've been using an artificial tree for the past few years.

we prefer the real one coz of the scent :) i don't worry about the mess, my hubby's taking care of it, hehe.

artificial...all those trees getting cut down cant be good. ppl that dont buy there real trees but cut them down illegilly i mean

I prefer real but we usually have an articial one, real ones are too much work for my moms likeing.
