fake or real christmas trees?

We have a fake one for some years now.
I don't mind.
It's quite sad knowing the tree will dry away and we'll have to throw it away.
A fake one is good for the environment I think. I don't have to think about the fact that that tree was killed to ornate our house for a few days...

 

yeah my thoughts exactly :cheers2:

 

we always had reals ones when i was younger, then the year i moved out my dad bought a fake one.

me & my fiance alternate between real & fake. when we go on holiday with my family for christmas we put up a fake one but when we stay with my fiances family we put up a real tree. there is nothing nicer than coming down stairs on a cold december morning to the smell of christmas tree.

 

I love the smell of the real ones. I miss havin them. Having a fake tree to me, is like taking the fun out of most things

 

we have a fake one. we have for about 5 years.. i miss the real ones. my dad insists that if you spray it with pinesol you won't even know the difference, but it just isn't the same..

 

yeah. it isnt, and plus the fake ones can be so small and it wont be as full as the real trees :/ we call ours the charley brown tree

 

Every year I think about getting a fake one because it would be so easy, but I just can't do it. We always get real. When we have little kids around, we like to go up and cut one, but we haven't done that for a few years-the youngest was my grandson @15. Now I have a new grandson (10 days old), so in a few years, we'll have to head back to the farm. My city recycles the trees for compost, so they go back to the earth and not to waste.
