Do you use to have live tree or artificial one?

i love the smell of a live tree but i perfer a fake tree so i dont have towory bout the mess and my baby crawling over to get the parts that fall off af the bugs i bought one,one time and o my it was full of tiny bugs so i havnt had one since

I always wanted real and live trees for my christmas tree. So what I do is to go outside my house and trim some tress and put some decorations in it. It's good because it's original tree and the outside world can see and appreciate. I don't like artificial trees because even if you decorate it, it's still artificial and has no life in it!

I think that most people like a live Christmas tree but it's better when we buy an artificial one, because in this way we preserve the Mother Nature. Just think about what would happen if all Christians in the world decide to buy a live tree- so many trees will be forever lost. My family always buys an artificial Christmas tree and i think that this is the right thing to do. happy mylotting

When we grew up we always had a live tree. Of course back then my grandparents had a neighbor that grew pine trees we would get one for cheap from them. As an adult my husband and I did live trees for a few years but the last few we've used an artificial one that we bought on clearance. It's a pretty nice pre-lit tree. I miss having a real tree but they keep charging more and more each year for them. Plus there is the mess afterward too. My husband used to gripe and moan pretty good about having to clean up the needles. The kids have never had a live tree though so I think we'll start doing it again sometime.

Hi dieorfly! We never get the live Christmas tree, we normally buy artificial ones and use it again the next year. And yes my Christmas mood is the same even we use artificial one. But this coming Christmas my mood wont be the same because I'm in a country that most of the people doesn't celebrate Christmas, I haven't even seen any Christmas decoration that I can buy here. Thanks!

We've used an artificial tree for several years now. I think we had a real tree once or twice when I was a child but we hated the clean up. We hated finding pine needles for months after the tree was gone and we hated spending all that money for a tree so we ended up buying artificial trees and we've stuck with them ever since. It's just safer, it's better for the environment and it's more costly.

Hi dieorfly,


I feel the same as you, I hate any trees been cut down, although I love the smell of the trees I wouldn't want it to sit in my living and watch it dying, If I want to smell the pine I will go into the forest and smell them, its much better. I have a artificial tree which I have had it for over five years.

When I was little, we used to have live trees. But as me and my sister grew older, we developed allergies so the real tree was replaced by an artificial one. While I would love to have a live tree, it just isn't possible. But because I grew up mostly with artificial trees, the feeling of Christmas never changed weather my tree drank water or not.

Our family when I was really small my father made an artificial tree. They did not have artificial trees at that time so he was ahead of his time. When we came to Canada we started having a natural tree and did so for many years. Just the last few years as my health has deteriorated I have had no tree because of the work involved and the price of trees have gone way up like everything else. We still decorate a little but even the price of electricity for the Christmas lights means I do not use them either, and most people do not.

I much prefer to put the moneys toward food and other decorations now.

Hello dieorfly

I have always had a live Christmas Tree. I enjoy having a live tree, even though it's a major pain in the butt to try to erect them. I also like the smell of the live tree, although I think that it's possible to buy live tree smell spray if one has an artificial tree. I suppose that you could also buy those pine tree scented rearview mirror things for your car and hang them around the house for the same scent.

Artificial trees are nice, too, though. I don't mind if a tree is live or artificial.
