Natural. It smells great and artificial just seems cheap.

I prefer a real tree.

That being said, my BIL is coming to visit for Christmas and he’s severely allergic, so we bought a fake tree this year. And now that a fake one has been purchased, I won’t be wasting money on a real tree in future years.

we are real people. But more and more I am wanting to go buy a really nice artificial. I doubt I can ever convince my wife. Just seems easier to deal with, cheaper over the long haul, and a hell of a lot less mess.

Fake tree. I don't miss cleaning up needles.

We have a fairly expensive artificial that has lasted for almost ten years. Might be the last year it makes it.

I used to get a real tree every year. Then one year I got a fake tree and now I won't be getting a real one for quite some time. I'm content with it and it's less of a hassle to deal with.

most artificial trees are now better looking then the real ones and smarter investment too

if someone needs nostalgia just hang a damn pine air freshener in it and they wont know the difference

I prefer a real tree if I’m not doing any of the work like mounting, watering, and cleaning up needles. Otherwise give me a fake tree.

After Christmas, we sink it into the pond and catch fish off it in the spring.

I prefer a real tree but I’m not sure I’ll put one up this year.

Just looked at the Balsam Hill trees online. I had no idea fake trees looked so good. I might go that route next year, if the SO lets me.

That’s a good idea. We put a few under jumps for extra filler at the barn.
