What are the pros and cons of each type? Which do you traditionally use?

Interesting, when my parents got older and bought their first fake tree and we didn't go and chop one down I was pretty sad. But it is less hassle with having to water a real one and deal with needles everywhere, plus the dog thinking we brought it in for him and he peeing on it 🤣. When I lived in Houston there weren't really tree farms around so we missed out for several years but now that I'm back up north I'm looking forward to carrying on the tradition of a real tree with my kids. Do you decorate your truck for Christmas?

Think of all the fun you miss out in with a fake tree. Going out with the family in the blistering cold to search for the perfect tree, cutting it down and lugging it to your house on top of your car, wrestling it into the stand after you've cut off a foot or 2 because wifey picked one much too big. (Don't forget sap on your clothes. Watching mom decorate it while you sip hot chocolate or a hot toddy.And that wonderful pine smell. I've been a real tree girl all my life. Looking forward to carrying on the tradition, no matter the cost 🎄

Fake = you don’t have to water it

I don’t hate water why do you think I have a sink

Oh wow I never knew I was a poet

well you have to dispose of it once christmas is over if its real, but if its fake, you have trouble putting it away

Real ones. It's just far nicer

Fake = you don’t have to water it

Just dig up the roots, pot it with enough soil and water to last until the new year, you barely have to take care of it

Fake takes less time and is reusable

The time that it takes makes it it's own reward

Having to work for something is far more satisfying than having it handed to you on a silver platter

We always use fake trees because they don’t make a mess, they’re easier to decorate, and they don’t wilt

I mean you're not wrong, less work for sure but that's the whole fun of a real tree! Plus that lovely pine smell just brings the season to life. I guess you could burn candles instead.

For all the hate I give fake plastic things, real trees are the ones that make a mess. I'd go with fake.

I'm sure you would ;)

Implants would fall under the general rule of fake plastic things lol
Thanks for mod by the way, I'll try not to mess up XD

Don't break anything ;) I know you're up to the challenge. You have to deal with IP stream after all, lol. Just let me know if you have any questions or not sure about a submission.

Ok thanks :)

Fake pros: You don’t have to water it; no allergies; needles don’t go everywhere; bugs don’t get in; Real Pros: Looks nice; smells good; that’s it.

real trees are messy and take more work then a fake tree, personally i would use a hight quality fake tree so it can last for years.
