Real Christmas Tree or Synthetic, which one do you prefer?

When I was living in Asia and Australia, I always have those plastic seven footer Christmas trees. When I moved here in Canada three years ago, my hubby always get the whole family to go to Home Depot or Rona to get real Christmas tree. It doesn't cost much. The plus side is, it makes the lounge room scented and we don't get to take the tree out until the needles fall down. Last year, we took the tree down in the middle of February LOL!!
