Xmas is upon us once more, it comes round so quickly as we all get older… My question is.. Shall I go for the traditional REAL Xmas tree.. or buy a fake one?

Real. It’s the highlight of my Christmas going as a family to get the tree from the forest

we'll be using the same artificial one that we got 17 years ago when we moved in here. It's a bit shabby now but my housemate doesn't want to get rid of it

Real trees can die quite quickly, even if they are marketed as long-lasting.

They look and smell more like Christmas to me though.

Do you have a garden it can spend the rest of it's life in decaying once Christmas is over?

I like real ones, but we have a fake tree that pops up easily every year, once decorated it’s a perfect image of Christmas.

Real for us, just love the lovely scent that it creates around the house.

Mind you having both just had Covid, not sure that we will be able to smell it anyway.

Was always a real tree man, but 2 years ago the price jumped from £60 to nearly £100 - sod that… artificial was purchased in the sale and never looked back.

Oh it’s going up today

Real tree, artificial cant beat the smell of real pine

When you wake up on those chilly mornings and you head downstairs, the smell of the pine with the sparkling from the decorations, the Christmas songs playing in the background with a coffee in one hand and a mince pie in the other. The presents neatly wrapped and placed under the tree

Ah good times

When you think about it .. it's all a bit strange.. putting a dying tree in your home for a couple of weeks..

I am in possession now of the family tree. It was passed down to me by my mum a few years ago. It's literally been part of my Christmas all my life. Its old, worn and basic (by today's standards) but I put it up with pride every year. That and the little cheap musical lighting Santa train set. They are part of my family heritage (I'm just really sentimental really).

Mines an artificial one. Bought a new one this year 7.5ft flocked and I love it. Gave my old tree to my friend cos she snapped the base on hers and my old one looks so small compared to the new one. even though it was 6ft.

Can see some of my tree in my new pics but pics don’t do it justice. It’s beautiful.

Nearer than you think

Buying an artificial one and using it for 5+ yrs is much better environmentally than buying a real one every year.

Love a real tree but bought a fake a few years ago as they were getting expensive.

Will probably still be using it in 10 yrs time

Love Christmas

Might be just me or different species but team trees don't smell as good as they used to.
