We had fake growing up, and I never minded... But now I just really enjoy the tradition of going out to cut our own. Maybe we'll rethink fake when my son is older.
I have a fake tree ...with enough decorations it can look very nice and real ...but I do spend forever fluffing the darn thing...Im allergic to real trees and with two cats im sure it would be a disaster...but one year I want to get a real one again i love the smell of them
