Ditto I've never ever had a fake one in my 35 years. Actually going out and cutting it down is the very start to our holiday season and traditions!!! :wub:
 
The responses on this poll really surprised me! I thought it was much less common to get a fake tree.

We get a real one. When we can (say when I'm not on bedrest pregnant with twins....) we go cut one down from a tree farm. But sometimes we just go buy a real one at a place here in town.
 
Never had a fake tree and since living in Australia we always go to a christmas tree farm, do a tractor ride with the kids and choose our own tree - The kids love it!

The fake trees I could afford look ridiculous and the one I would consider to buy costs $700 - no way I would spend that much money on a fake tree :blink:
 
We always did a live one but my husband died and after quite a few years of not wanting to put a tree up at all I finally gave in a couple of years ago and bought a 3 foot fake to please the grandkids. So fake it is.....
 
much eaasier to keep up with...plus it will stay up longer..can't imagine getting a real tree right after thanksgiving and it still being good to go on xmas!
 
Real. I love the smell. I love the fact that I don't have to store it. And I don't mind vacuuming up the needles, it just comes with the territory.
 
Growing up, I lived in Washington state, and we used to go out and cut them down in the forest (totally illegal). It was our one law breaking activity that we did. Then, when I got older, we would go to U-cut farms, which were easier, but more expensive.

Now we live in Arizona, and the trees in the lot are expensive, so we bought a fake one a few years ago. We should break even next year, and it is in awesome condition, so I am happy with a fake one for now. I can adjust the limbs any way I want to make it look thin or thick.

If I lived in a state with trees though, we would go to the U-cut farm. No sense having a fake one if you can get a real one easily.

I agree! We always have a fake tree...but just because it's easiest and cheapest. Then one year our Cub Scout pack sold evergreen wreaths and unfortunately my dh volunteered to house them in our garage...I was sick for a MONTH before we realized WHAT was making me sick!
 
I grew up with a fake tree so it seemed just normal for us to have one now...besides we have cats and putting up our tree is always a challenge for us to keep it decorated til Christmas! :p
