We've had a fake for the past three years, mum's wanting to put a real one this year. Told em we'd eventually go back to real ones but they didn't listen. P:
Pshh real all the way. I had a fake tree one year when we spent christmas at my grandma's. Even though fake trees are easier and less messy I still like real better because it seems more festive or something.
We usually switch on and off.
Since there is an evergreen grove near our house, we usually buy a real one.
Here in the northern U.S. we can take care of a tree nicely X]
