Default Real or Fake

Just purchased my first fake Christmas (not Holiday tree) and was wondering what everyone else uses. I am tired of the watering and mess of real trees.

Fake trees are fine. I must admit though, when I first saw the poll, I wasn't thinking trees .

I have three young men at home also. Ages 14, 13, 5. I dont think the older two even care if we have a tree if they cannot play it on XBox.

I love the smell and look of a real tree, but, hate the mess and aggrivation so bought a fake fiber optic tree last year. Makes life so much easier and I don't have to worry about my house burning down if I forget to water it.

Wolf, on second thought...I'ma get me a real tree this year...burn baby burn
