Real Verses Artificial

Well, artificial trees are much more convenient and easier to set up. That being said, I would probably never put one up if I had the space for a real tree. I guess it's probably because in my family we have always had a real pine tree, and the look, feel, and smell of it are part of the tradition of Christmas to me. I think that this, for me, would be worth the extra work of buying the new tree, hauling it inside, and spending an hour or so trying to get it to stand upright properly. Not sure if it's worth it when it falls over again:).

There are alot of benefits from having a fresh tree for Christmas tree one is you will be able to save a huge amount of money and the scent coming from the fresh Christmas tree is very relaxing and will give you an instant Christmas feeling.

But as much as I would like to have a fresh Christmas tree in our home, I'm afraid that it is not possible to have it here in my country. Unlike in other countries where fresh trees are available anywhere here in my country it is not the case, so we have to settle with the artificial Christmas tree instead which is really costly.

Hi Chevee,


I have a artificial Christmas tree which I have had for a quite a number of years so I will be putting that up, I love real trees but it should be where its belong in the forest not cut and stands in someone house dying. Hugs.

Real just looks better, and it has a nice smell to it. On the other hand fake you don't have to try to squeeze through your front door, or struggle to get it to stand up, and there's also the matter of thousands of tiny needles all over your floor, that stick in your feet, and don't ever go away.

We have an artifical one. We've had it for 8 years now. Before that we bought real ones each year. It just got too expensive. I do love the smell of real ones. Maybe we can go back to them one of these days.

We don't have room in our apartment for a big tree, Chevee, so I invested in a little table top one several years ago when we moved here. It's about 30 inches high and comes with the lights attached. It looks really pretty on my curio cabinet; and if you consider the cost of live trees today, this one has more than paid for itself.

Our tree is artificial. We've had it for over 30 years. We keep it in big Rubbermaid boxes. Every year we think about getting a new one and then change our minds. One of these days we will get one lol.

Well I've always had an artificial tree and its easy and convenient and I like it and all but I've always wanted a real one. SO badly. However thats yet to happen so maybe sometime in the future my wishes can come true. Actually i'm totally determined to have one sometime in the future...real Christmas tree here i come

Believe it or not, we don't decorate at all.

Artificial trees are like artificial boobs; they're nice to look at, but I just like the real thing better.
