I like the Natural ones, but this will be the last year for one, me and the wife deceided to buy a Fake tree after X-mas. Maybe it will be cheaper than the $200.00 for it right now.

Artifical. We had a real one last year and it was a mess. The watering, the needles all over the place. :grr:

Also for those of us with allergies the artificial are much "safer". I love the real trees, but we can not hack the allergies that come along with them in our family.

I love the smell of a natural Christmas tree.....but not the pine needle mess or fire hazard; why I have an artificial tree (and some "natural pine" scented air freshener :lol:

I love the scent of real trees. I've had artificial trees in the past and the good thing about them is that you can have the tree and decorations up longer, you can use heavier ornaments and you don't have a fight with your significant other as to when you're getting the real one

I did choose the real tree however. :wink:

Real trees. Nothing beats trudging through 3 feet of snow, finding a tree, cutting it down, and putting it in your home. It makes the whole house smell great as well. The needles are just a minor inconvenience for me...

I wish we could count on snow every year, but cutting the tree is tradition for us, with or without snow. An artificial one just wouldn't be the same! When you cut a fresh tree the needles aren't usually much of an issue[/code]
