Christmas Trees

[anna]

Fake here, I used to have real ones growing up though, we would just plant it in the garden until the following years time to dig it up again.

I remember that it was a mess to clean up and my mother was always hoovering up the needles, and I cant say that I remember the nice pine needle smell too much, but perhaps that is just my memory.

In my mind there is nothing taken away from the xmas experience in getting a fake tree.

A beautiful black fake one.


Ste.

half of a 6ft fake, always had a fake one growing up and always wanted a real one.
First chirstmas in my own house I bought a real one similar size to our family fake and it cost £50 inc a stand.

I wasnt impressed!

that January I bought a 6ft fake one in a sale, but we only erect the top half in this house, a 6ft tree would look rediculas in our tiny living room.

We haven't had one the last few years but this year I bought a 6ft black one. It's a shame not to have the scent of a tree but I've got such a snotty cold I wouldn't be able to smell it anyway. So far the cat hasn't tried to wreck it - but it's ony a matter of time...

Real, every year. You just cant beat the smell and the picking of it. How some are oddly shaped and all are individual i like that

I got the cats a 6ft real one to play with. Its been up a couple of weeks but isnt happy cos its next to the radiator so starting to drop now, should last til Sunday though when the kids go to their dads

i got a lovely fake 6ft fibre optic one form a very kind org member. still to put it up mind you lol. maybe tonight.

6ft fake one here, don't drop needles obviously, but it drops snow instead, mrs wants either a real one next year or a fake black one.

No tree this year. Mrs Metal insists on real ones, but lookee here... station wagon traded in for sports car, no room for a real tree! I offered to get an artificial one, she just said no.

Result!
