I grew up w/ the fake tree thing,I swoar I would go with only real in my own place.
Well the wife & I went w/ real trees for 4 yrs.we were lucky,a friend of ours owned a tree farm so the trees only cost a 12 pak

Our house had forced hot air for heating w/ no humidifier,so once that poor tree got in our house it was needleless in about 2 weeks, not to mention a fire hazard,it looked nice but what a mess.So we've been faking it for 8yrs.

Now that we bought a newer,bigger & better house (with forced hot water) I'll bet next year we will go back to the real thing
I think real is the true way to go plus it smells good too.

If you have the choice in the matter I'd go w/ real.

If you ever watched that video of how fast a real tree on fire became a fully involved living room fire, you'd never want another piece of sap-laden drying out tinder in your living room. It took less than 30 seconds for the living room to flash over.

My wife insists on real trees. In return, I insist on the following: it goes up on Christmas Eve and it comes down New Years' Day.

Karl.....I enjoy Christmas Eve the best! Have family and a few good friends stop by for a bite and some cheer! I have my kids this year on Christmas Eve for the first time in a few years....and they are not getting any younger....oh sure they don't believe in Santa anymore at 14 and 15.....but it makes it that much nicer making things special for them! I don't care about presents and shopping and all that.....the best part is Christmas Eve after everyone is gone....fire going, put in Its a Wonderful Life and just kick back! Christmas Day we will stay home, just Angie and the boys and myself.....cook a turkey dinner and not go anywhere! Started a new tradition last year....no more making the run to my Mom's for a day of the same old thing and all the crap! Just staying in my own home and relaxing!

SQD....post a pic of that tree will you? Also look for a new ornament very soon!

Real... but they really are a pain in the arse! A fake would be so much easier.

Fake, 8' with the lights already on it.
I have balsam scent for the missing feeling.
