    It's around this time that miserable grumps start complaining about Christmas while everyone else is looking forward to the hoildays & spending time with family & friends.

    :D

    It's also that time of year where the tree & decorations go up, so what kinda tree are you erecting this year... a big, smelly, sticky real one, or a plastic, fake & rubbery one?

    Fake - had a real one a couple of years ago and turned out it wasnt non-sheding :( - needless to say, no one dared touch the tree that year...

    I had an ex-girlfriend who insisted on fakes. While they're nice to look at there not as much fun as the real thing I think. There's just not the same feeling.


    Now.... what's this about Christmas trees?

    I always get a real one. Love the look & smell of them.

    The only thing I hate is that I'll be picking pine needles out of the car for 6 months after dropping it off at the recycling place in January.

    The trick is to tie the tree to the roof... :p

    This thread is fair misleading. While I'm here, real I suppose. Which I would have voted anyway.

    Fake... mainly cos I have one in the attic and negates the need to spend money on a real one. Though I do like the idea of a real one... especially the smell.... must get some of that christmas tree scent in a bottle to spray around the fake one :D

    Last year we had a real one, but that made an awful mess and didn't look pretty,

    so this year we bought a fake one, and it made an awful mess and doesn't smell as good as last years, it does look pretty though! :D....


    .....well at least it did until my 16 month old decided to rip half the decorations off this morning, to give them back to me :rolleyes:
    now it's only decorated from her height up....:(

    Fake and real, one room we have has a very high ceiling. We usually put a real tree in it.

    Am a convert to fake. It looks pretty good although it doesn't smell as nice. I like putting the tree up really early and a real one starts looking shite before Little Christmas.

    I'd usually insist on a real tree. But since I live in a shoe-box sized apartment, it'll have to be fake for convenience sake.

    Has to be a real one. Its not Christmas til the house smells like Christmas tree. Don't think I'd ever bother with a fake tree.
