We use a fake tree. It is easier with kids.

I wonder which will have the greatest long-term effects on the environment?
1) Artificial Trees ... made from numerous synthetic materials. (Are any artificial trees recyclable?)
2) Real Trees ... which are planted, grown, and cut specifically for Christmas.
Either way, it seems like a waste of time and resources for a silly tradition that has nothing to do with anything ... other than COMMERCIALISM.
And, btw, how many people are killed every year by Christmas trees? How many houses burn down because of them?
IMO, hauling a tree (whether real or artificial) into your home and decorating it was kitschy ornaments, only to tear it all down a few weeks later, seems like a big waste of time.

I have a fake one for many reasons: my cats like to eat the real tree, my dogs drink the water bucket from the real tree, I hate cleaning-up pine needles and it takes too much time to find the one you like every year!
