Your tree - Real or Fake?

[Cimbri]

Real tree. In my country anything else would be blasphemy.

 

[BorgeoisBuffoon]

Fake. When Christmas sneaks up on you like it did to me this year, it's so much easier to just get the usual fake one.

That's a perfect way to get yourself banned. Ohwell, enjoy your 3 days...




Anyway, at my house, we usually have a real tree. Only one year did we get a fake tree, and my mom didn't like it after that.

Real, I use it for firewood after the holidays.

Fresh cut from our own little forest

Took a tree from me old hometown, you did.

Real tree, anything else is lame.

Hehe, myself and some mates cut ours down for our house in the Midlands at 11:30 pm last week under cover of darkness

Things would have been easier had we brought a torch, but we cut down a beauty and it was a talking piece during our Christmas party. The whole experience felt great, but rather Blair-Witchy as we were alone, in pitch darkness and it was very cold and misty and one of us had a saw and knew how to use it

Had we been caught I think it is a £5000 fine



Back home in Halifax we buy our trees like respectable folks from garden centres...also the lack of natural XMAS trees in the vicinity could also be considered part and parcel of that happening.

We did the same thing when we wanted spruces, mind you, we used flashlights though.. But we almost got caught and found out tht our pine trees worked quite well, and you dont stab yourselves so much when you get out your pacages from under the three..

I live in the same country as Cimbri.

It's a waste of good forest to chop down billions of trees just to have as decoration.

 

[Aramazd]

Real is the only way to go

 

[gunning1]

Fake, all 13 of them.

 

[Norlamand]

Fake, real ones are too much trouble. Can't justify cutting one down just to adorn my hovel.

 

[EzInKy]

Real trees are plentiful where I live but I still prefer my artificial one because there are no needles to worry about cleaning up, no need to keep it watered, and it's less of a fire hazard.

 

[cgannon64]

Real, always has been, always will be.

Hell when my father was a kid they planted them in their backyard when they were done.

Growing Christmas trees is an entire industry. They plant them and harvest them ~8 years later. They don't just go mow down forests.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

The christmas evergreen tree is a symbol of immortality; it seems counter productive to kill it in order to celebrate immortality.

 

[Zarn]

artificial, because real is a waste and a hassle

 

[Smidlee]

I didn't fool with a tree this year but i always like a real one when i did.
