I’ve never had a fake tree, I’d rather wait to put mine up near to Christmas and have a real one as they are so much nicer.

I live alone so I have a fake one as it's easier to put up. But I love a real Christmas tree and the smell of it. So no help to you at all!

Fake ones, we have two, one in sitting room, one in conservatory.
Brought out year after year. One had to be thrown after good service, bought a replacement cheaply in the January sales.
Once the lights and decs are on, most trees look ok.

They all seem tawdry if that’s the right word, once Christmas Day has gone.

Christmas trees, that is. I’ve had my fake one for about 15 years and I’m bored of it. Thinking of getting a real one. DH is dead set against it, which I can understand, but I feel like I should go for it . What do you do?
