I personally have always had a real pine tree for my christmas holidays. This is mine and my fiances first christmas in our new home and the discussion has already aroused of whether to get an artifical tree or to get a real one. He has had artificial trees his entire life, while i have had real trees. So far we have decided to get a real tree for our holiday. So do you get an artifical tree or a real tree for your christmas holiday, and why? Would you ever consider doing the opposite one year?

In parents house we have had always a real one. Because i think ti is big different if you have a real one or jusr artificial. the smell the look is totally different. yeah maybe today they have on the market those artifical trees, which look better and maybe like a real one,but where is the smell? Yeah maybe I would consider to have a opposite one year, but probably when I will be really old.

I agree i love that pine smell throughout the house. I think that sweet aroma makes up for all the needles that may fall off. lol.

I have an artificial tree every year. When I was a child my parents always had real trees and they were too much of a hassle. First you had to go find one that looked decent, then once you got them home they made a mess everywhere and you have to water them, and bugs are sometimes in them then they get in your house. I might get a real tree one year but for now I will stick with my fake tree.

Artifical trees are less of a hassel with clean up. Hope you have a great holiday.

I like a real tree. We had an artifical tree but my dog detroyed it. I guess she didn't like it because she's never bothers a real tree. We want to go to a U-cut or just go into the woods and find and cut down outr own tree this year. I think it will be a nice tradition to start.

We have a new puppy so i'm hoping that he will stay away from our real tree. Our older dog seems to be fine around them so hopefully our puppy will be just as successful.

We have had an artificial tree since I can remember, and it was always nice because it was easy to put out and it was a fun activity for the family to put it together and decorate. However our big beautiful artificial tree officially died last year and we bought a new one, but because my sister and I are older its pretty skimpy and I really miss having a big tree around. I would love to get a real tree, even though its a bit more upkeep I think the smell and the look of it is so much better. Also, you don't have to lug it out of storage and build it every year, you can just bring it in then throw it out.

Its great to hear how familys are so involved with each other for christmas. Real trees are nice, but they are a lot of up keeping. Happy holidays.

Anyrthing can be done out of a Christmas tree. It can be plastic or it can be real, and the thing is the spirit of Christmas is right there.

That is defiantly true, a tree can be made out of anything. As long as the christmas spirit is there is all that really matters in the end.

i actually really love the way that a real tree makes your home feel "christmas-y". however, i have an artificial tree that my husband and i have been using for the past four years. i found out the hard way when i was thirteen that i'm allergic to the real thing. i was stringing the lights with a cousin of mine and my arms brushed up against the tree. in minutes, my arms were covered in a rash. it was pretty nasty. but, if i wasn't allergic, i think that we would probably get a real one.

If there are abundant trees that can be used as christmas tree then use it as your christmas tree. After the season, then we can return the tree to where it belong. But if there is no source for a real tree, then make use of the artificial one. Anything that will make us happy to celebrate christmas then we do it. It is only once a year celebration but for me I want christmas to be celebrated everyday. Happy Holidays.

I prefer fake. It's safer, it's better for the environment because you're not chopping down trees, and it really keeps your home cleaner than real trees do. You don't have to worry about having pine needles all over the house, or your pets getting into the water for the tree. I would not consider doing the opposite. I'm happy with our fake tree.

I would love to try to have real tree for Christmas, since here in the Philippines you will rarely see a real tree for xmas tree or maybe we actually don't use real tree here.

a real tree might not be ideal as a christmas tree because it withers away easily,after somedays it starts to loose its leaves and then the tree starts to get dry unlike artificial tree which stays longer
