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.
