Poll: Real or Fake Christmas Tree

[toothfairy]

Save the planet!!! Get a fake tree.

<< You bring the dead carcass home. You prop it up in the corner and hang lights and sh!t on it. How barbaric! >>

Ha! This sounds like deer season in Michigan! LOL

 

[Deeko]

Real!! Come on, my brother's a Christmas fanatic, if he came here and saw all you people supporting the evil fake tree that came to kill Christmas he would be very upset with you!

 

[Total Refected Power]

Just like the election:

Right down the middle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[purplehayes]

Fake, in fact, we just set it up a few minutes ago.

PH

 

[Dedpuhl]

none of the above. The X-mas tree symbolizes what is wrong with Xianity. More emphasis is put on what you get for X-mas and what is under a tree...than the &quot;true&quot; meaning of x-mas.

 

[thedarkwolf]

You mean HAM?




My friend's parents still have their real tree from 3 years ago setting beside there house

 

[jkersenbr]

Real -- we grow our own out behind the barn (no kidding)




With homegrown real trees available, why go fake

 

[Aquaman]

Save a tree............ use Fake ones

Cheers,

Moonbeam, you slay me.

Fake here. I love that tree smell, but it's too much of a hassle.

We have a 7 foot fake one that we just move down the basement after x-mas.
It stays together so we just have to move it upstairs for x-mas. It still needs to be decorated, and thats all the fun anyway! We have 2 dogs and a baby, so a real one can kind of be a problem(dogs drinking from water and getting sick, ect...)

 

[blurredvision]

I'd prefer a fake tree myself. You can use them over and over, provided you take care of them from year to year. It's hard to find a real tree that looks decent around here.

 

[Stallion]

We just started to go fake about 3 years ago. I always liked the Douglas Fir but this is much easier to go fake. Besides a good tree is about $40.

 

[FettsBabe]

Real!! Its the only way to do. We have two in our home.

 

[rudder]

locutus: buying real trees that you can plant after Christmas has become real popular. And a lot more trees are wasted everyday by people still reading newspapers.

 

[Moogle]

I can't stand the smell of real christmas trees... and I don't like picking up all the needles that the vacuum cleaner missed afterwards either

Besides, my cat likes swinging from the branches, so he can do less damage on a fake one

 

[cxim]

Moog have you ever seen a mad cat in a fake Xmas tree ???

The worst cat damage, I have seen to a tree has been to a fake one. silver plastic needles everywhere.

Hope you don't have that luck..

 

[FettsBabe]

Our big one is a cut tree, and the little one in Psycho's son's room still has its roots, and will be replanted.

 

[Moogle]

My fake one last year (using again this year) was remarkably resilient against the feline menace .. he'd scuttle up the middle, and swing precariously near the top, issuing plaintive meows.

Kind of cute really

Okay, yes, I do still have to pick up decorations every now and then

 

[FettsBabe]

Thats funny, I would love to see a pic...got any moogle?

 

[cxim]

moog
You have better luck than we did... after about the 3rd attack, the tree looked like it had been beat with a stick, run over by a truck &amp; left out for the trash pickup. Never did find out why the cat hated that tree.

 

[ArkAoss]

my aunt always gets a huge tree, has a 3 story living room, and always covers the whole tree, she quite frequently leaves it there for 6 -7 months, cause its such a pain to undecorate and rip it out, i dont celebrate xmas though

 

[Moogle]

I'll take some pictures this year

 

[Schola]

We use an artifical Tree, Much cheaper then getting a new tree every year as we have had this tree for 11 or 12 years now.

Viper GTS,

Wow.. I never knew anyone else who had that problem too. I would break out in hives really bad if we got a real tree when I was a kid. A couple years ago (when I was like 17) we had a real tree again and I seemed to be fine, though. They told me it wasn't the tree itself, but the stuff they spray on it (not sure what this is, but I assume it's some sort of preserver).
