Real or fake?

[Ray Finkle]

So how do you like your Christmas trees?

We usually have a real one but in the past we have had one or two years when we've used a plastic tree.

Mrs F and the kids love a real tree but they aren't the ones that have to go and buy it, transport it home, get it level in the stand, keep it topped up with water, sweep up all of the needles, drag it back outside after new year and cut it up ready to burn/bin

Ours will be going up next weekend

Humbug! Real all the way.... you don't the smell with a fake one!

Got to be a real one! On top of fake ones looking fake you don't get the pine smell either. There's nothing nicer than walking into your home at the end of the day to the warm smell of mulled wine and pine tree smell. We usually get a potted one and for the last few years I've found a spot locally where I can plant them and watch them grow afterwards.

For the past few years we've put ours up the first week in December but we're aiming for the second week this year because the kids go hyper once it goes up and it drives us insane.
