Fake or real tree?

Real tree, definately. No contest.

I wish I had videoed me putting up my tree which is not only fake, but pre-lit with like zillion little lights. I zipped open the bag and stood up the first section that already had the stand attached. I then added the second section and plugged in the power cord. Same for the third second. I placed the angel on top, and found an extension cord and plugged it in. Voila! Dad's job is done. It didn't take long for the four of us to decorate it. It reminds me of all those pretty commercial trees on Charlie Brown's Christmas!

If I like the smell of pine, I would go out and buy a pine scented wall plug-in or something. Maybe just pour a jigger of pine sol into a dish and leave it out..

Now you have to go out and buy a big zipper bag to store it up in the attic to keep the bug out in the summer. :ducking:

I tried using a cardboard box one year and yellow jackets made the biggest nest inside that I ever saw.

Or you could just leave it up year around..

But the good news is that you'll have a tree next year and the next, and the next.... Congrats!

You can't be a scrooge with kids running about.

Fake tree...and mine is covered with so many ornaments you can't really see if it's real or not. It came with the lights on it which is nice. I do put some fresh cedar around in a couple of arrangements and that way I get the aroma of some fresh, cut greenery.

Real, Real, Real,!!!! I love the smell. It reminds me of the Mountains. When I'm done with it in the house I move it outside around my birdfeeders and the birds love it.

Fake, no mess, reusable

vixweb · 12-17-2007, 05:43 PM

I love the feeling of walking out of the woods with a nice tree- "the fresh kill"

Morpheus · 12-17-2007, 05:47 PM

BTW I have a gas log fireplace also

Let me guess due to the mess of a real one and allergies to smoke and the expense of buying wood every year??? Nothing like the real deal!
