Which do you prefer: a real Christmas tree or an artificial Christmas tree? (Page 4)

[Anonymous]

Artificial because you don’t have to spend money every year on a new tree! I also don’t feel they take up as much space as people might think they do.

[Sarahr123]

The artificial ones look better

[Still_life]

A is for always keeping it real!

[FreyaRed]

Always real, I like the smell.

It's just a decoration so I think artificial is fine. Trees don't really want to be in your lounge.

[MoJoYoYo]

150% imperfect, real trees! :)

I love the smell of them!

[Titanic1912]

We always have a real Christmas tree!

[Lonestarryzky]

I love the scent of real Christmas trees. 🌲

[RebeccaBI2000]

I want real, but my dog always tries to eat it

[Visionary7]

I prefer artificial for some reason

[Layafell]

Definitely prefer real ones

[ChiPaPa]

I usually have a tiny artificial tree

[Vinc2017]

Artificial is on the long term much sheeper!

[crazy8000]

Depends on if I have to deal with it or not.

[loveslongnails]

Neither. I don't engage in that pagan ritual.

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Okay

[Daniela1982]

I bet you are okay with getting Christmas presents though, right?

[loveslongnails]

@Daniela1982 Actually, I don't care one way or the other, and I don't formally "celebrate" Christmas.
Gifts were brought to the Christ child by believers, so at least the idea of gifting has something to do with Christmas. The whole tree thing took hold when the celebration of Christ's birth, strongly believed to be in the fall around harvest time, was moved to coincide with the winter solstice - a pagan ritual.

A fake tree. They're way easier to take care of.

The smell makes the difference for real

[Aurora1010]

Artificial

[Msputiton]

Fake tree.
