I've had a fake one for years and years. One year I hung a pine air freshener in the back of it so it smelled like a real one

I do the pine air freshener thing, too. It has to smell like pine!

@Marilynda1225 I think we have only done a real tree since we have been in this house (since 2007) one time. The needles were a pain to get up and my husband said that is it...no more!

I haven't had a real tree in so many years that I forgot about the needles

WE can't find real Christmas trees here so we always use the fake ones.

We always did fake ones. You only have to buy them once.

It's just me so I had a fake small one that fell apart but this year just to amuse myself I will get a nice fake one to make me smile,

Over the years we have done both.
Most recently we prefer an artificial tree.
There are too many trees cut down and sadly, not replaced with new plantings.
I do not miss the needles that fall from the real trees either, even well watered trees will drop needles.

Back when I celebrated I liked fake trees, probably for the convenience. But my girlfriends always wanted real ones, so we had real ones.

I want a real tree so bad. The farm here closed. I've never had a real tree.
We do fake every year.

@AmbiePam My step grandpa was a scout leader, but my step dad was a firefighter when i was really little and wouldnt let us have one because of all the fires.

We did the real tree thing for years. Then we had a sweet dog that decided those real Christmas trees were absolutely delicious to snack on, which of course made her very sick. We then went to a fake tree and then when I downsized several times, the big fake tree eventually became a small one. It's fine, it's pretty and nice to look at.

I’d probably go with a fake tree. It’s convenient, reusable every year, and you don’t have to worry about fallen needles or keeping a real tree watered. ??
A real tree does have a special charm, though—the smell and the traditional feel make it much more festive. If cost and convenience matter, an artificial tree is probably the better choice.

We get a real tree every year, kind of made it a family tradition to cut one down with my wife and son

People have started celebrating for Christmas? Wow. As for the tree tho, we don't use trees most times but when we do it's a fake. You can't find real trees here and when you do, they are extremely expensive unless you decide to cut it yourself which people don't.
