For those of you who put up Christmas trees, I was just curious which type of tree you have and/or prefer. Artificial or live?

When I was younger one of my favorite traditions was going out to a tree farm and picking out a live tree. I loved the smell of the tree in our house However, it was always an experience getting the tree onto the car and then into the living room Around 5 years ago my parents decided to buy a fake tree. I was not happy about it at the time, but now I love it. We don't have to water it, no vacuuming up pesky needles, and no more sappy hands after putting up the ornaments! Plus, if a branch isn't positioned how you like, you can just move it! I thought an artificial tree would look really 'fakey', but it doesn't. Most people are surprised when we tell them the tree is a fake. The only downside is I miss the pine smell. We light a bunch of pine scented Yankee candles, they're nice, but it's not *exactly* the same.
