The Big Question

[mouseinphilly]

Rather simple question about your Christmas Tree this year.

The real deal or plastic?

Re: The Big Question

Real pine tree + puppy who pees on a real pine tree every morning= bad Christmas... We have the Martha Stewart one. It's not bad. It could be worse. It looks fake but we're like "we're not going to fool anyone and say 'we have a real tree!'" I kinda' want the tin one though...

Re: The Big Question

artificial....
but I put up a ton of trees (4 6' trees, and about 9 2-3' trees...yes really)

I start assembeling them this weekend (takes a long time) and we will decorate them sometime durring the week...

so, since I don't want them to dry out, but I want them up really early I go artifical...

Re: The Big Question

Re: The Big Question

My personal tree is a very small (3 feet) artificial LED tree. But our family tree is always natural. I wouldn't do it any other way.

Re: The Big Question

Natural....ever since I moved out of my parent's home which always had a fake one!

Re: The Big Question

I have a medium size artificial green tree. Enough for an apartment and for just one person. Of course my cats just love to sleep under it too.

Re: The Big Question

I have a small fiber optic tree, but not putting it out this year as my kitten would surely destroy it.

Re: The Big Question

3 fiber optic tree's ( 3 feet and 2 6 foot) 7 1/2 feet tree that looks amazing and a 6 foot tree I am not bothering with this year. we are all alergic to tree's and having real would tear us all up so we have to go fake. but my tree's are very nice and full

Re: The Big Question

The real deal! Living in the NW, I can't imagine having a fake one.

Re: The Big Question

Mine is artificial.

I need to be able to just grab if trom the storage closet. If it were up to my husband we would not put a tree up until a week before Christmas. He gets very sick of having the tree up unfortunatley. Therefore, I have to be able to do it ALL myself to ensure I get quality 'tree time' each year. I put it up today.

Re: The Big Question

Always real.

And while I understand the "getting sick of the tree" way of thinking, I get too excited for Christmas and get one fairly early in the season every year- usually the weekend after Thanksgiving. But this year I really REALLY mean it! I'm waiting!

...at least until next weekend :cgrin:
