Does your family get a real tree or a fake one? We get two real ones every year. I love the way they smell!!

We haven't gotten ours yet becuase we get a real one, and my mom doesn't want tons of needles on the floor @_@

I always get a real one. I just LOVE the piney scent. And without a real one, it's not the same.

We're getting ours maybe next week. For the same reason as abbycatkid.

My grandmother always has a fake tree. But it's BEAUTIFUL. She puts an angel on top, and puts tinsel on it along with the ornamanets.

We have always gotten a real Christmas tree. I agree that there's nothing like the smell and beauty of the real thing :)

We have a ten foot fake tree in our living room which we put up a little while before Thanksgiving. We have, like, a little above six foot fake one in my room :-) We have a seven foot fake tree in our basement that we have no idea what to use for...

Fake tree. We've had the same one ever since I can remember. It's like color coded. First the branches coded brown go on the bottom, then blue..

I was tired and polled the wrong one, I have had the same fake tree my whole life, and it's still...not alive...well, it's not torn to shreads.

We have a fibre optic tree, which allows us to let the ends of the branches and leaves light up. Of course, it has to be disney-fied. So we put the yearly baubles and a tigger on the top. Tigger is better than a star!! :)
I'm at school right now, i'll post a pic when I get home :)

I always get a real tree, nothing like the way pine reacts with your olfactory system.

I'm thinking about getting a fake one. However, as others have pointed out, there is nothing like the smell of a real Christmas tree. We probably wont bother to get one since we're going home to California for the holiday, so I'll just sniff Grandma's tree this year.

As much as I enjoy the smell of a real tree, several family members are extremely allergic to pine so therefore we ALL have fake trees (due to visiting) so no one has to suffer. I do however, purchase an outdoor wreath each year from a local scout troop to support them and I was told the trees only have some limbs harvested for the wreaths. The wreath goes in the garage during family visits.

I figure if you buy 1 tree a year instead of a fake, you essentially kill about 15 plus trees in the lifespan of one fake tree. Granted real trees are recyclable and fake trees are landfill but I figure one tree every 20 years or so is a lot better than some other things that go in weekly. ;)

As the old paper vs plastic debate.:rolleyes:

Being allergic to something within real trees we go for an artificial one.
I love real ones though! But we spent some good money on a really nice looking fake one that doesn't look bad, and by the time it's filled with ornaments you can't tell anyway (we had to buy a bigger tree for all our ornaments a couple years ago LOL)

We always get a real tree. I was surprised to see the results, with more people having fake trees. I don't know anyone who has a fake tree.

we only get a real because the fake ones just create more garbage ( if you get rid of them) and the real ones can be turned into bark chips.

We always get fake ones.

They're useable year after year so you don't have to keep buying new ones, =].

I knew a family who decorated their tree a full, solid different color every year. For example, if they decided on blue for this year's theme, then they would have to go and buy all new ornaments, garland, ect!

Last year our 6ft tree (fake) broke, so we had to throw it out. But this year we got a new 9ft tree (fake) that's even better!

Real Christmas trees are more work with picking up all the needles and stuff, but it pays off because it looks so... almost, magical..

We always get a real one. We were going to get it today but I dont feel well
:(

But, the other year I made a Christmas tree for my hamster :D I used this plastic bottle and taped paper that was green and had spots on it to it. Then I made a paper star and put peanuts under it. Sweet Pea loved peanuts... I miss her :(

Both would be helpful - you can see whether you like one or the other better!
