I love real trees, but they're a pain in the arse. I've had real for the past 5 years now and having to haul it off, sweep up all the needles, keep water in the base, wrap the lights, etc. I said frick all that and went and bought a fake one this year.

I loved having real trees growing up (when I wasn't the one that had to clean up after them).

These days? Screw that. A couple of years ago the wife and I bought a really nice 7.5ft pre-lighted, artificial fir for a couple hundred and have never regretted it. If I ever get desperate for a tree scent I'll just open a bottle of Pine-Sol.

My very first Christmas as a 4 month old, my parents got a real tree and put it up on Christmas Eve.... Well apparently I'm allergic and my throat swelled up and I had an Anaphylactic reaction and spent my first Christmas morning in the ER.

We never had a real tree again

Artificial without question. Took five minutes to set up Sunday with fancy and colorful blinking lights included.

Both. We have a really nice fake tree we set up after thanksgiving that the misses sets up. We'll get a smaller real tree for that little ones to decorate.

Wait until after Christmas to buy the fake on. You can find them up to 50% off

I just bought an artificial and it looks pretty darn good. Real is just too much of a hassle to me and I never liked how they can start to dry out and become a fire hazard.

Biggest real frasier fir they have. But have to admit the quality of the artificial trees and fact that our kids are grown have my wife and I contemplating a change. Kids will be pissed though...tradishun.

We will get a real tree again this year. Our street has a Christmas Tree Burning Party every year so my husband enjoys watching our real tree go up in flames
