Do you prefer a real x-mas tree or a fake tree, I like the real trees myself.

We had to switch to an artificial tree many years ago. My wife loves her Holidays and we use to go through several trees every year. I always worried about a fire from a dry tree so we went artificial. She had a company put up her outside lights on Nov. 3rd even though her Halloween stuff was still out. Now her Thanksgiving stuff is up but will come down this weekend so she can put up her Christmas lawn stuff. She put her tree up the day before Thanksgiving and will add to it for the next month. If you can imagine she has a 400 sq ft storage room just for her varied Holiday decorations.

We are getting a permit to cut one out of the forest today, taking grandkids with us, that will be fun.

Fake tree for me, Its cheaper over the long run and less clean up

I even have the one with the lights built in

Prefer a fake christmas tree. I love the smell of the real one but not the mess

Real trees for now. Love the smell, hate the mess they create.

Got back from tree hunting, that was fun, except half way home if blew out of the back of the truck, forget to tie in down, all was ok, retrieved it and got it back home just fine, Grandkids had fun hunting for the trees.

I like the chrome ones with the rotating globe at the base.
