The fake ones probably require less maintenance.
I can't imagine they are as nice to touch as real ones though.
And real ones just smell better...
... Oh, come on. I'm talking about Christmas Trees!
Aaron and I have a twice handed down fake tree. As far as twice handed down fake trees go, I'd say it is pretty good. It is taller than I am, so that is a plus.
About 12 years ago (that makes me feel really old) I pointed out to my mom that I was taller than our fake tree and that it made me feel uncomfortable about my height. The next year she bought a real tree. It was great. So tall and full. It smelled great. Our cat really liked it. (Although, as it turned out, he used it as a more natural alternative to the litter box.)
I'm not sure why we haven't ventured into fresh cut Christmas Tree-dom yet. Maybe next year...
What do you have? Real? Fake? Pre-lit? Anyone have a tree that isn't green in color?

We have a 1970 model, hand me down fake. I think the best Christmas tree we ever had was the live one that Dad planted at the red house and covered every year with those big fat colorful lights. I loved looking at it all lit up.

If there were only a poll to respond to... :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have two fakes, but have only put one (it is prelit) up since Isaac was born. Although I do prefer a real tree, they're just so messy and expensive!
Hooray , Comments!
ReplyDeleteFake is in the lead... interesting.
