Real Christmas trees vs. fake ones.

This is an easy one for me. I'm allergic to pine oil, so for me fake ones are much better- they keep me out of the Emergency room! But, if you like real trees, go for it if you can handle the hassle and the mess. Pine trees grow fast, so I don't think cutting down a whole bunch of trees is bad for the environment or anything.

well i always have a real one. i love them. but the older i get i think sometimes it would be easier to have a fake one. my real one does not even smell this year. so i went and bought the frebreeze holiday evergreen. works good. my friend wants to buy a tree that she can plant outside in the spring. i do think those colored trees are funny looking. to each his own right.

Donno i've always loved the x-mas tree the natural one cause of the smell and the feeling is different but in the last 3 years i got a artificial one with fibre optics and hes nice too i'll post a pic soon;)

I prefer a fake tree. Its less of a hassle to clean up behind. the real ones are cool too but i just dont like the shedding and things that come with it.

i'd prefer fo REAL CRISTMAS TREEEE:) ...

I think real ones are very pretty! They smell nice, too. But my problem is allergies and asthma. I can never have a real tree and if someone i know has one i can't be very near the tree for a long period of time! Also, fake ones are much less of a hassle to clean up after!

I am a big fan of the contempary look of homes. White Christmas trees are beautiful. Would I ever splurge to pay the money for one?? probably not. At my mothers hous she has a real christmas tree. The only thing I like about the real one is that the whole house smells really good. But the needles always falling on the ground and having to water it seems pretty annoying. This year my boyfriend and i went to his production shop and grabbed a fake palm tree and decorated that for our xmas tree. :) we decided to be a bit different. And last year i took a strand of xmas lights and made a fake tree on the wall. I'm 25 years old.. no need for a tree until I have children lol

we always used to have a real christmas tree when we were growing up and it was good, nice christmas tree smell. but i always remembered it being a pain when it was time to get rid of the tree. needles everywhere and then a tree to get rid of. Since living on my own I have always had a lovely, lifelike green artificial tree and I am really happy with it. my main reason for getting artificial was that i had a crawling baby and didn't want her to be crawling with the needles. also much less hassle when it comes to clearing up. my daughter and I also have lots of fun every year getting it out, she loves to sort the different sized branches for me. i think artificial must be better for the environment too, but i don't have any facts on that.
Happy Christmas Everyone:)

Trees are very important because they provide shade and prevent erosion. Nowadays, just a little rain could cause floods. That's because there are less and less trees.

I've never had a real Christmas tree. It's hard to find a real pine tree here. And if ever I can have one, I'll still prefer a fake tree. That's because even if you plant a replacement, it would take years before it grows tall. And besides, I could just put the fake tree in its box again when Christmas is over, then I'll use it again next year. I'll just buy additional trimmings. It's more practical. Don't you think?

I always do both
