Real tree or Fake?

Do you go real or fake and why?

Top Facebook Comments:

• Real. Why?? Cause I can go out to the back 40 and cut one down. I think it’s so cool to go out back and just cut one down.
• Buying fake trees supports big business, mostly being done in China. Buying a real tree supports the farmers and farm workers. Buying a real Christmas tree pays for my daughters ballet classes, my sons Cub Scouts, and puts food on my family’s table.
• I decorate a Yucca stalk. It’s more Southwestern.
• Fake…those boobs are big….look great… And never sag. We are talking boobs right?
• Real – We get a permit from the state (which I have to get today. They’re very limited, and I don’t want to miss out.) Then we drive up the mountain with the chains on the tires. I pick the tree out, our son cuts it down (with some help from Dad), and my husband brings it down the mountain. It’s our favorite family tradition.
• Real. I’m a man who lives in Maine. Enough said.
• We’ve had artificial trees for the 42 years! As the cost of real trees went up, I found that the ‘fake’ trees have more than paid for themselves in their years of service. I got 20+ years from the first one, the second one was just a bit too big for our small house, after 5 years of service, I gave it to someone in need and got a smaller narrower model that we’ve used for 3 seasons. I would never go back to the real thing, they look so much better in their natural environment.
• Real, always real! How can it “smell” like christmas if you have a plastic tree?
• I love when my mom gets a real tree. plus I’m allergic.
• I did real for years but now I go fake – I love a real tree but my allergies can’t take the pine smell
• fake, cheaper it last from year to year, you don’t get needles on the floor or sap on anything.
• I bought a tree that I could plant last year. Amazingly it lived, so I might do it again this year. I love the smell of a live tree.
• Most of the trees you find in tree lots harvested 2 weeks ago or more. By the time you purchase one its already dry and dropping needles. Many have been sprayed with preservatives as well. For those reasons I use a fake tree.
