I have a live tree in a very large pot. Sadly it will be too big to handle after this year and I will have to pick a spot to plant it.

I do have a couple of very small artificial trees that go outside, but you would never catch me dead with a fake tree in the house. Sacrilege!

My mother is actually braving the odds, and having a real christmas tree this year. Should be lots of fun!! Hope I can keep the cats from scaling the inside of it, the bugs from fleeing in terror when we deposit in the living room, and the dog from chewing on any ornaments or stringed lights we may have circumferencing the bottom!

I was hinting at a fake one this year but hubby's putting his foot down.......can you tell he's the one that doesn't have to clean up after???

I always have a real one. We never had a fake tree in my family. I usually go out and get 2 or 3 and donate to those that can't trudge through 3 foot of snow for a mile. And there is nothing finer than running the vaccum cleaner and getting that roasted pine scent throughout the house after the needles start falling. I made the mistake of buying a real tree once. It launched hundreds of bugs within an hour of bringing it inside. I will never buy another out of state tree.

We have an artificial tree that plays Christmas music melodies and has blinking lights already on it. I think authentic pine trees are the best, but ours is real good.

I'm... having... issues! who's idea was it to get a fake one again???

Nothing but real for me (not pine, but spruce if I have the $$ and fraser fir if I don't), but LMAO at choice #4!

PS -- I have a 2' silver tinsel tree as well!

ETA: How is having a properly maintained real tree dangerous? Unless you're allergic to pine sap and it sends you into an anaphylactic shock?
