The 6' footer is white and red themed, keeping in tradition with the main room, (1) 4' is a white tree with silver and black ornaments - matching the dining room while the green tree is in the den

right... because they are supposed to be green

Yeah, but white has a more wintery (and therefore, Christmas-y, feeling for us)

You need a 'both' option. We have a fake tree with all white lights in the living room and a real tree with multicolored lights in the den.

see now I'd feel just the opposite...

we have 2 fake trees. one is 6ft and one is 4.

i personally think cutting down a living tree just to have it in a zombie state living in the living room is wrong.

though i also think someone giving or getting flowers is wrong. shrug

I think it was home depot last friday that had $30 fake trees with a free $30 giftcard... I kept threatening to go buy 12 and put up a fake forest in my living room.

I dare you! :evil:

Fake.. my mom has a really bad reaction to pine needles (as do I to a limited extent).

I miss our real tree

We buy ours from a Benedictine Abbey tree farm that's close to where we live, it's really no different than any other harvestable good, IMO.

We like real pine trees.
#1. We like the smell of it.
#2. We dont have to store it at the end of the season.

After witnessing a christmas tree fire in a neighbors house that resulted in the death of their 3 year old, I will always use fake. Their tree was not old either, this was only a couple of days after christmas.

If you want the smell you can always get a smaller pine tree and just not light it and have it in the same room as the fake, or just get the scent sprays/candles.

Meh. Without the Christmas tree sales, those Christmas tree farms which are 90% trees, are now paved over for a strip mall! Kinda makes cutting down trees seem the more nature friendly route to go.

I don't put up a tree but I DO celebrate Christmas

Real this year for me :thumbsup:

No tree. No decorations.

We occasionally exchange gifts.
