I love real trees b/c of the smell BUT the fake trees are so much cleaner but more expensive (for a good one). What Im doing this year is getting a real one and the day after xmas buying a good fake tree 75% off
A few years ago I splurged on a good fake Christmas tree. I have 3 dogs so I didn't want them to have to play in the needles. Although I do love noble firs, I must make sacrifices for my babies
.
I do however, have a different theme every year
makes it so much more fun. Hobby Lobby and Micheal's stores ALWAYS have 25%-50% off discounts on their ornaments and tree decor. EVEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS! Last year we did an all purple tree. it was beautiful!
Artificial christmas tree is the practical choice. It's easy to setup and convenient. You don't have to buy real trees with bugs and insects every year.
