Captain Falcon Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You can't have a fake Christmas Tree Walking into the living room in the morning and being hit by the lovely pine scent is wonderful. And no, air fresheners do not have the same effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 We always have a real Christmas tree. It doesnt feel like Christmas without the tree smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks exactly how you'd imagine a Christmas tree to look? You mean fake right? Yes they do drop pines but it's not the end of the world. Even after 2 weeks and being abused by many dog tails, our tree always looks green. I feel a thread rip and poll coming on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah fake trees are the best. I used to be all about real trees, but then we got this fake one and it's just great. Think we've had it for almost 10 years now? And it still looks just as great. Real trees make such a mess, plus after Christmas you have to throw them out (such a waste, boooh). Plus I don't like having trees cut down for our silly traditions. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You're kidding, right? One of our dearly beloved Christmas traditions is travelling to the nearest pine tree plantation and choosing a Christmas tree! I look forward to it every year!

You mean fake right?No I mean the shape, and you can't even tell it's fake, especially once all the decorations are on it, it's a brilliant one. And you don't have to buy a new one every year and throw the old one out. Or put up with having to maybe get a poorly shaped one/lacking foliage etc...

We did that and had the same tree for aaaaages, it was great. Fake trees suck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats why you take your time in picking a tree, make sure everything is right. Im not really against fake trees, I think these days some can look pretty good but as I mentioned before, the smell of a real tree is too important for me to switch over.

We did that and had the same tree for aaaaages, it was great. Fake trees suck... We tried that, they always died. These trees aren't really meant to be planted and then taken out again and again. That's not good for any kind of plant/tree. Also, it's not by choice. It's either a fake tree or no tree here. The choice is easily made then.

The lack of the smell is the biggest gripe I have with fakes but the other is they look too perfect... well the good ones do anyway - the bad ones just look bad. And they have no character. I know that there won't be another Christmas tree in the world that looks like my tree even if all the exact same decorations were placed on it.

I was like that when we got this fake one. Was very much against it (for reasons mentioned, biggest one being the smell). Now that we have this tree I just love it. It's perfect, always looks great, I don't feel bad about having to throw out a tree etc. Plus the smell would give me a headache anyway. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Fake trees suck...You suck! I'm not really bothered about this real or fake thing. I know our tree makes me feel super Christmasy, which is all I care about. It's exactly what I'd want every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Real trees ftw. EVERY year my mum cries over the thought of needles...but that just adds! It the one thing I won't budge on - my family has to have a real tree. Or I'll do something drastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diageo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Fake or no tree here too. I don't really feel christmassy at all. Maybe because I see no point to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnas Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Pshh... Trees. We've been very happy with the spiralling pseudo-tree we've had. Like a real one, except we can hang it from the ceiling, or from anywhere, really. Either way, we usually spend Christmases at other relatives' places. Places with equally fake trees, but not nearly as stylish as ours. But they live in cosy villages, and they have fireplaces, and warm blankets for the family to sleep, so it's cool.

Jonnas Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What's so wonderful about it?The only good thing is the presents. In my case, the ambience, the family traditions, the occasion to catch up with the entire family, the chocolate, the fireplaces, the smell of warmth. And it's not about receiving presents, it's about waking up the next morning(s) and not worrying about anything else but the presents. It brings peace of mind like nothing else in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
