It should have read, real or fake trees.. oh well
i grew up in a family that only used real pine trees for Christmas. it was a mess and the animals climbed the tree and worse.
Now that I am an adult, i prefer fake.
What type of tree do you prefer for the Christmas holiday?
Real. I like the smell of pine, so the real ones always do it for me.
I think I read that some homeowner insurance companies won't allow real trees. If you have a fire from a tree, you're screwed.
I think there is a pine spray that people can use on their fake tress...that does sound pathetic....insurance companies are controlling how people live their lives now..
I tested out that spray once, but it wasn't the quite the same.
Real!!! I will miss not having a tree this year. If I was back in Canada for Christmas I would have a real tree for sure though.
Real. But they can be messy and troublesome. Saw a pre-lit tree about 12 feet tall in Lowes. $800. Ridiculous.
I can't have a real tree due to allergies. I actually won't have a tree at all this Christmas.
I have a artificial tree that has seen better days.
I heard today that those little trees, real ones, take about ten years to grow that size. Then they are cut down. It seems a shame somehow when they should be growing into magnificent conifers.
Don't start me on the turkeys.
Plastic is best. Not so much for turkey obviously.
Due to allergies I can only use artificial trees also. I prefer them anyway. Clean-up is easy, lno pine needles showing up weeks later, no shopping for a tree every year and less worry of a house fire.
