Whats wrong with an artificial tree? I'm no tree hugging liberal, but I see no point in killing a new tree every year. Just put my fake tree up.
There are Christmas tree farms just like any other farm. Tons of them here in NC in the mountains.
That said my last real tree was the year it toppled over shortly after being decorated. I also like to put mine up right after thanksgiving and we sometimes travel over Christmas break and it’s not something I want to worry about.
Those artificial trees don't do it for me. I love the smell of a house with a fresh real tree. I like picking one out each year and not having the same tree every year. They grow and cultivated them to be cut and used for the holidays just like the vegetables we eat. Its not like I'm going out the woods and cutting down a tree that's been there for decades.
I'm with you, last year was our first time trying an artificial tree. But Amazon sells pine sticks that you hang inside the artificial tree, and it actually gave it that fresh tree feel! And no pine needles to clean up.

It's farmed anyway, so no loss to the environment. It will be replaced once cut. I got a superb tree from this farm in Warwick last year and it was already pre-cut:
Anyone got stats on real tree fires?
Watching the news you'd think every other house be burning down nightly.
