I will not put up a tree this year since I will be working and gone... But last year, I bought a small, optical,, table top tree and that is what I would put up if I were home. I am not into the real ones, they make me ITCH!

I'm in a condo so it's a fire hazard to have a real tree, although I'd love to have one. My "artificial" tree is up now and I'm starting to put the lights on. One good thing about it, is that I can keep it up for months and the needles don't fall. ;)
We always had real tree for my christmas baby(born christmas eve) but i hate the mess and get no help putting it up so I now have a great looking fake one. Piece of cake to out up by myself.
For the christmas smells I use a mix of candles.
We always have a artifical tree.
My family has always had artificial/"fake" trees. We prefer them because they don't leave a huge mess, they don't need to be watered and you can leave them up as long as you want without worrying about it dying.
real all the way!
real tree every year always!!
I dont like fake trees..i dont think they are neary as pretty at all, they also cost alot more around here, a real tree only costs $15 where as a fake tree costs $10 just for a 1 foot tree :eek:
We have always had a fake tree. They're just so much easier.
If we ever craved the smell of pine, we'd just go outside and cut off some limbs from our pine trees . . . lay them on the mantle or something like that.
Real! Always real, especially as Miss Hoppy regards it as a chew treat, and a nice play to lie under. We have a big kitchen, so it's usually in there, which means the needles are easier to sweep up than they would be on the living rom rug, too.
Fake. I just can't stand to waste the Earth's resources for the sake of decorating my house for 2 weeks. I hate seeing all of the trees that are thrown out the day after. Ugh.
The fake ones look just as good as the real ones these days, and if I really wanted the smell, I'll open a bottle of pine-sol.
Either way, it's moot for me this year because I'm not putting up a tree for Payton to bring down. ;)
Since I've had my cats, I don't put up a tree any more. When I did put up a tree, it was a fake one. I still have it in storage. I wonder if I'll ever be able to use it again.
Indeed!! That is the kind of tree we get every year :) . I hope Zazou will behave and leave the tree alone; I'd better ask Maya to teach her :DQuote:

Real Real Real, "open a bottle of Pine-Sol??" You are kidding right? It doesn't have to be huge and I always put it up on a low sturdy table or something and secure the top of it with fish line tied to the upper window sash so even if a cat climbs up it won't topple. Just a few very special and meaningful ornaments and lots of babies breath from the flower shop. I usually try to buy a live one with a root ball so I can replant it. It works quite well. Yes it can be a bit of trouble but what the heck, it's worth it to me. :)
We have a fake tree. It has always been fake, it will always be fake as I'm allergic to pine sap.
