Fake or real tree?

Well I'm totally alone on this one! It is part of our tradition to have the real deal so I'm standing my ground! I'm alone on dealing with the mess that comes with it as well.

Interesting note: I was shocked to discover that one of the last "real" trees that we had, on closer inspection appeared to be spray painted green!

Real trees are nice but I do not smell the fresh pine in the house ?? I would go for the artificial tree in a heart beat save money and reduce my carbon footprint

I have a fake tree. I honestly don't have time to water and take care of real tree seeing that I am a single mom of 2 small ones. To help with the pine scent, I have yankee candles. Christmas Wreath is a good one. Also, I love the no mess with a fake tree as well as not having to string a lot of lights.

Real tree, definately. No contest.

I wish I had videoed me putting up my tree which is not only fake, but pre-lit with like zillion little lights. I zipped open the bag and stood up the first section that already had the stand attached. I then added the second section and plugged in the power cord. Same for the third second. I placed the angel on top, and found an extension cord and plugged it in. Voila! Dad's job is done. It didn't take long for the four of us to decorate it. It reminds me of all those pretty commercial trees on Charlie Brown's Christmas!

If I like the smell of pine, I would go out and buy a pine scented wall plug-in or something. Maybe just pour a jigger of pine sol into a dish and leave it out..

Real, Real, Real,!!!! I love the smell. It reminds me of the Mountains. When I'm done with it in the house I move it outside around my birdfeeders and the birds love it.
