Christmas Tree, real or fake??

[k9krazee]

I was reading the thread about when you put up your tree but I was wondering if you have a real one or a fake one???

Every year we would go as a family to the Christmas tree farm and cut one down but my mom bought a fake tree last year because she is sick of the pine needles But going out and getting the tree was one of my favorite things to do.

What kind of tree are you getting/do you have this year???

[sammy101]

real.
when we were in Canada,we used to go out as a family to cut one down in the forest,i miss that alot. Now we just buy one on the side of the road for $80

We have found out that an artificial tree is much neater and easier with animals in the house.

Last year we had a real one, and this year, we might go tree-less. If we do get a tree it will be fake.

When I do get a tree, it's a real one (love the smell!), with real candles too. You can get different kinds here, the thicker darker ones don't drop the neddles so much.

the thicker darker ones don't drop the neddles so much.

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

REAL! REAL! REAL! I grew up with a fake, silver, aluminum tree that had a color wheel, light gizmo/thingy that rotated and shone on the tree. It was the ugliest thing. Kind of like having a Disco Christmas every year. Now, if I have a tree, it has to be real or forget it!

About 7 years ago, we bought a gorgeous real tree - just as we had for years and years. We didn't decorate it that day - decided to wait until the next day.

It was so weird - I told Douglas the next day that I wanted to take that tree down. I just had a bad feeling about it. He was about to tell me the same thing. So no tree that year. We went up to Bronners a few months later and bought a fake one. It's lovely, and we're very happy we did it. Our son liked it so much that we bought one for them, also.

A few years later, we weren't able to complete the decorating of it, though. Reese was a kitten in 2001, and decided the fake tree was hers to climb and play in.



In 2002, Reese was older, and larger, but still climbed up into the tree. She also had Abby, then 5 months old, to follow along. It wasn't until last Christmas that we were finally able to totally decorate the tree again.

We have always had an artificial tree, though I'd love to have a real one for once!

Real. This year we're getting the tree from the yard, time to cut down on the fir trees. (and replace them with maples and dogwoods)

[Toby's my baby]

Sorry to say, but ours is fake too. C.P. loves to climb it though, and knock the balls off. we usually end up with about 5 broken bulbs.

[cocker_luva]

real all the way!

[AllAmericanPUP]

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
