Fake one inside, can't be bothered with the mess.
Real one outside.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -
LED tree all the way. Santa also likes it, and Jesus isn't real........0

Having any form of decorations would be a change for me, so... I'm out.What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?0

As long as they are a decent size and shape, is well supported and has something worth unwrapping down below I could go for either.Nobody told me we had a communication problem0

this is normally me. This year i have promised the EPO a real tree (only cos I can get one cheap)."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

I read in the Daily Mail that Christmas had been banned by the EU's PC Brigade, so it's all irrelevant anyway

Fake as we have a crawling/stepping baby who won't leave anything along.
I don't want him to eat the needles.Food Chain number = 4

He'll still eat them, they'll just be plastic
That said, we've always gone real, and a decent, but small one at that. If kept in water, they don't shed more than a couple of needles. 1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

We've a forest out the back.
And I have a saw in my toolbox (....and a sore too - but that can be fixed with cream)

up until my kids were 11 we always had a real tree - in the house we need to have an 11ft tree so it always ended up costing about £90, which was a real bind!
Last year we bought a fake - cost about £350 but it is a nice shape and looks quite real but without all the hassle. I love the smell and realism of a real tree - but the cost every year and mess is just too much I think.
BTW - I fecking love Christmas and I decorate the inside of the house a lot - Christmas has always been a special time of year for me and I try to make it that way for my family also - I love the whole cooking a big meal - eating and drinkling too much - family games - thew whole kit and caboodle - so sue me!
BTW - I was actually expecting the question to be about tits

True, but don't real ones start to droop after a while?Nobody told me we had a communication problem0 -
I much prefer real - we try to buy the strongest smelling one we can find!
Good to know about the water trick - might try that out.

I don't tend to grope the tree much so fake is fine. As with DDD we started with a fake when the kids were born, we've just stuck with it. Once it's covered in bling you can hardly tell.iPete wrote:fake ones just don't feel the same.0 -
my folks allways had a real one and we pick up a real one, can get them with bases now.
lasts for weeks but we don't have the heating up that high.0 -

Interesting. So you'd rather have a little droopy real tree than a magnificant large and shapely fake tree?Nobody told me we had a communication problem0 -
if you are in the slightest bit ecofriendly you really have to get a real one, fake trees are really not good for the environment"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

Treat'em as you would cut flowers - plenty of water and keep the heating down, at least next to the tree. You can get bases a bit like a sort of jumbo dog bowl, which work really well.
