I prefer to buy a real tree because there's nothing like having one. It just makes Christmas better!

I'd rather support Oregon families AND clean air than a Chinese factory.

There's enough fake in this world. I'll take real.

I really prefer a real tree, but I gave up on them a few years ago. I bought a really beautiful, real-looking fake tree at Home Depot several years ago, that already has lights and red berries and pine cones. and a little flocking. It still looks great. Am very happy with it!

Don't actually celebrate Christmas. I celebrate Hanukkah, but I do like the real trees when I see them around.

I prefer an artificial one because I can use it the next year.

Allergic to real trees!

Michael Miller

We've had an artificial tree for years and it's paid for itself many times over. The last real tree we bought soon began to smell like rotting vegetation.

Dianne Price

It's good for many years! If it gets dusty--put it in the shower!!

Gabe West

We had a real tree once that got dry and alot of needles fell out

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
