Go real or fake?

[11thHour]

Which is your Christmas tree?

Fake here, but I think it sheds more than an old real one. :\

Which is your Christmas tree?

This thread is not about what I thought it was about.

 

[EliteRetard]

And what if I don't even have a tree? Or a single Christmas item or decoration at all?

Are you attempting to live up to your username and find a Christmas tree on 12/23?

lol, one year it as 12/24 6:00PM. That was early in my marriage before I understood.

real.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Trees are dumb.

Go fake.

Better yet, don't get a tree.

Fake. As nice as a real one might be due to the smell and what not, I find it's a total waste to be cutting down a perfectly healthy tree just for the sake of using it for a month and then throwing it out. That, and I have a cat, and most plants are poisonous to cats. They can also get hurt if they chew or eat the needles as well. What I hate is that stores sell real trees now too, that's even a bigger waste because I'm sure they don't sell all of them. If you're going to get a real tree, half of the experience is to actually go in the bush and pick one.

I cut up a bunch of branches from a tree so I can get the pine smell then it occurred to me that it might be dangerous for the cat so I googled it and it is dangerous after all so that was a waste. I shoved some in the humidifier but that did nothing lol.

Uh, you should just ignore the problem. Your cat will understand and ignore you at will.

What kind of cat? Marinade recommendations.

In any case, I'm not a fan of real. Any persistent smell quickly becomes like having Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber sitting in a corner making his "most annoying sound in the world" for hours on end without passing out.

Put the Google down and step away, nobody gets hurt.

always had a real tree growing. i bought a fake one after i moved to my own house but i didn't even bother to put it up this year. it's just me and my dog and no one comes over here, so figured whats the point?

 

[Captante]

Real is the only way to go. :thumbsup:

And 100's of trees will be thrown away unsold after every x'mas so me buying one or not really doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things.

Why shower, shave or, take the trash out? It's just you and your dog. It would be nice if you asked some one over. I know your dog would appreciate it.

The dog doesn't care, as long as it gets to lick the peanut butter off...

God is great...

El plastico, por favor. No es los insectos y los muertos con el plastico.

Got to be real.
Got to be a Norway spruce.

Yeah I hate that stores even sell them, what a waste. If you're going to get a real tree the real experience is to go cut one down in the bush. Going to the store is just lazy. Just get a fake tree at that point.

Some of the fake ones look incredibly real now too. My mom recently got a new one and it's crazy how real it looks and even feels. Mine is an older hand me down that I got when I bought my house, but it gets the job done.

I have a blue spruce in my front yard, one of these days I want to rent a scissor lift or something and permanently put a couple 100w worth of LED lights in there.

 

[WelshBloke]

Elitist.

Yes indeed.

And a tree killer.

I pay someone else to kill it.

I sit in my armchair drinking brandy and eating seasonal snacks whilst watching it slowly die.

What kind of snacks?

 

[WelshBloke]

What kind of snacks?

Mince pies and brandy cream.
Christmas pudding and brandy butter.
Pigs in blankets (the proper ones; sausages wrapped in bacon).

You know... christmassy stuff that you eat at Christmas whilst drinking brandy and watching trees die.
