Do you have a fake tree or a real tree?

[leeanne]

The first weekend in December must be the popular weekend for people to put their trees up. I was out and about yesterday and all I saw were trees on top of cars and the places that sell real trees were very busy.

Do you have a real tree or a fake tree?

We do fake, I would love to have a real one but we put it up so early I dont think it would survive !!!! lol

Artificial tree here too. I like to have the tree up for the whole month! Also I think the artificial ones look nicer, no bare patches.

My parents always did real and it was so much fun bc we would go with my dad in the bush and cut one down, but I do a fake one...maybe next year I will get a real one.

We have a fake. If you dont look after a real one right then they droop! Some sellers tell you to leave it outside in a cold bucket of water for 3 days! I think a fake is easier. Both are equally as bad for the environment as each other

We always get a real one. They are just so lovely and it just smells like xmas whenever you are inside. As a kid, me and my sister would pick our tree, we would name it and look after it by feeding it everyday. I don't find the mess too bad, Ella makes a hell of a lot more mess than xmas tree ever could! The only downside is that you have to fork out each and every year, so more expensive in the long run than a fake.

Real- I've never had a fake one. They are amazing and for me it doesn't feel like christmas without one. The whole process of buying it putting it up- its all like a big adventure for me every year, even better with my own children now. The smell is unbelievable!

You do need to buy a non drop type of tree.

This is mine this year

I have a fake tree. We spent a fortune on it so it'd look nice and last longer - and it does both, people are always commenting about how nice it is

artificial here, i'm honestly not a big fan of the real tree's the thought of it dropping all it's needles etc! i love putting our 'fake' one up every year!
