Real or Fake?

[Lulu_Laroo]

What kind of christmas tree does everyone get - real or fake? I REALLY want a real one this year but don't know if OH will agree!

Lol oh's parents always get a real one and they spill needles everywhere! That's the only thing that puts me off! Apart from that they smell lovely and look a lot nicer! X

I love real ones but them shedding needles all over the place would be a nightmare for me. I love the smell but will stick to the fake ones for now, well maybe until the kids are a bit older anyway x

oooooh the real ones are a bloomin nightmare with the needles, you'd need to hoover every day, my grand parents used 2 get one every year & id end up with the needles in my own bed, in my house!! looool

Bear in mind they're also more difficult to transport & will cost more & in certain areas need to be pre-booked months in advance.

Some of the really nice fake ones look exact same as the real ones!!

Isn't there a certain 'breed' of tree that doesn't spill needles? Either that or there's something you can do to them? I dunno! lol

 

[Amy_J]

love real ones! we are going away for xmas so will prob just get a small fake one to put up, more so for lo than me, as i wouldnt bother with us going away. LOVE the smell of real ones though, cant beat them!

 

[nikki8092]

Tasha89 yes you are right as my in laws got one last year, although it did shed a few but not half as many as an average tree would x

I love real trees but not practical with 3 cats & a baby! we've got a really nice fake one x

 

[Amyrose]

I'm looking for a really big fat bushy fake one anyone know where one might acquire one of these? Lol x

 

[Rachaellius]

I love real ones and the smell of them, we had one last year but with LO being due 2 weeks before christmas I can't be bothered for the shedding of the needles this year so we're going fake x

REAL! We actually go to the forest here and cut our own tree down - it's become a lovely Christmas tradition for us now. We have a nice lunch and then go-a-chopping!! love the smell, look, feel, everything about the real ones. Don't care about the needles, easily vacuumed up. Can't wait!

I love real trees but husband refuses and as my parents have just 'treated' themselves to 2 new cars both convertible (my moms is a Porsche!) I doubt they'll be putting trees into their cars haha.

I might get an air freshener see if that recreates the smell of a real tree lol.

We always get a real one. We go for either a Scotch Pine or a Lodgepole Pine as they don't shed their needles and are nice and 'fluffy'. I find the normal type a tree can be a bit sparse and they're a frigging nightmare with the needles.

My mil got me a Harrods tree yesterday it's lush and I can't bloody wait to put it up eeek!

Real! There's nothing like the smell of a tree when you get up in the morning, we always get the type which don't drop needles.
I think the real ones are a bit more environmentally friendly than the fake ones which can't be recycled when they get scruffy.

Real for us too, love them x

Fake for me just coz I have cats who ruin anything like that. Also I go a bit psycho over decorating the tree. It just looks like a giant glittery triangle when Ive done. A real one would just be a waste coz you can't see it anyway when Ive finished.
