Do you get a real christmas tree? Or do you use a fake one?

We always get a real one.. Nothing compares to the smell of a freshly cut christmas tree

Fake one here. In the way early years we had a real one but starting in...I believe...1974...started using artificial.

We always get a real one too. You're right Chad, you can't beat the smell of the tree!

Can't agree with you more on the smell of a real one!! However, doctors orders are fake tree. It's called allergies!!! I still cherish the times we went and cut our own tree down in the woods of North FL as a child and the times we did it at the Christmas tree farms outside of Houston as a family here. Of course, the last time we did that here 3 of the 4 of us got sick. Since then. about 14 years ago it has been fake trees. Our current tree even has the lights already installed. Susan couldn't stand waiting the two hours it would take to get them done when I did it!!!LOL!!!

We have a pre-lit tree, too, David. No more lighting hassle.

Gotta have a real one. Just Gotta.

Always go for real!

Fake.

You know, when I first opened this thread, I thought it would be about women's...ahem. Shows you where my mind is today.

Fake trees are a Communist plot! Only real trees in my house

...got to have real ones of the other as well

I have always had a real tree. But, I have found a fake one this year that is beautiful. It is a 7ft. Fiber Optic tree. So, fake this year with some Rosemary nearby to put the real smell in the air.

we have a fake one because our stepdad wouldn't let us have a real one after xmas 2001

but I loved real christmas trees, had them most of my whole life.

I saw one of those fiber obtics trees yesterday, if I could pick which type of fake tree I'd get, I'd get that one.

we have some crappy 6 footer, where the branches and needles look so fake its not even funny.

I just prefer Real.. My folks have a fake one.. And it is REALY nice.. Very tall, and pretty.. Just dosent seem as "christmasy" to me though..

Anyway, it should be a real treat trying to keep Dustin away from it this year.. LOL any tips

We always get a real one about 11 feet tall. My wife prefers the fraiser fir but I am not too partial.

Always grew up with a fake Christmas Tree... grew up with a couple of them over the years in Massachusetts, now here in Florida have a small one.

Lyle, it was the way Chad worded it. Anyone one of us may think or would think of that at a certain moment.

Fake........SAVE THE TREEs!!

I got my Silver Tinsel tree last year thanks to Pro-storm!!

I thought the same thing ... sooooo that makes two of us. (Where's the third option? --- Fooled by the topic title)

The fiber optic effect is really cool. Mom has a Poinsettia one that she sets out every year as part of the great room decor.

I love the smell of a real tree! Two years ago, I came home from work and found a snake under the tree. Turns out sometimes they get in the trees and then fall out. Yucky! lol
