Real or Fake Christmas Tree?

I Like the smell of a real tree but can't do with the mess so fake one for me

I’ve got a fake one, snow effect. Can’t be doing with real trees just too much hassle in terms of the mess etc, at least with fake just box it back up and in the shed it goes

I grew up with real ones. Dad used to really look after them with proper compost and watered it to keep it nice. After Christmas you have the hassle of disposal as well and seems a shame to shred it up but probably goes into mulch or something. Since being married I have just had artificial as it’s more convenient. Mind you had it for 20 years now and a bit tatty!

Fake. Mine is a woolies one. Got it in the closing down sale years ago. It's black and love it

I personally prefer a real tree but have a fake one cause it’s just way more convenient and cheaper in the long run

I like real trees but I don't think they are suited to centrally heated homes so we always have an artificial one.

We have a fake indoors and a real one outside that has been growing for a few years. It’s at the end of our road so once decorated looks really good.

We have a fake one. Much cheaper as it can be used year after year. Don't like real trees, too much mess and don't like the smell.

I love the idea of a real Christmas tree but fake is so much easier and it doesn't matter when you put it up as it won't deteriorate.

I love a real tree but I suppose fake ones are more manageable overall.I love the smell of fresh pine.

I like the smell of real ones but they’re wasteful. So I’d use a plastic one year on year

We always have an artificial Xmas tree but it is lovely, very good quality so looks amazing.

We use to have real ones, but changed years ago to artificial after one of our dogs got a pine needle stuck on his paw, it got infected and ended up costing a fortune at vets

I love real trees but they do cause a mess so unfortunately have a realistic fake one

I got rid of our artificial one last year so been searching, the pictures are different to reality so searching for ones with reviews and personal photos. I was kinda getting used to the idea that I’d get a real one this year and kinda gutted as pick up an artificial tree order so fingers crossed it’s decent otherwise I give up.

I love the smell of a real tree. But we have to weigh are trees down because of the cats. We can’t have a real tree anymore because of this

Growing up in my mum and Dad's I loved having real trees because of the smell. But now that I have my own house, I prefer fake as I can not be bothered with mess. Hats off to my mum though!
