We always get a real tree, I love the smell and always had real growing up. We will get it from a lot most likely this year.

We had a living potted Christmas tree for 3-4 years and just went to Black Friday Home Depot sale last year. That worked out well. Haven't decided if I want to redecorate every year or keep it traditional. Last year we did half and half. Decisions, decisions.

We have a classic, pre-lit artificial tree. It's a little small for our new house now because we have giant ceilings. I like the idea of real ones, but I hate having to water them and how the needles get everywhere.

We will get a real cut tree. We did a live tree with root ball last year, which I loved. We planted it in the front yard and it finally died this summer. Now it just makes me sad, so we won't do that again. I grew up with real trees and can't imagine it feeling like Christmas without one.

We are a real tree family all the way. Unfortunately there aren't good Christmas Tree Farms here in the South so we have to go to a lot.

Probably our usual: a real and a fake! We cut one down at a tree farm in our town this year and I imagine we will do the same this year. Last year the entire living room was coated with needles as we removed it and my husband said never again. I just laughed and said there will be a real tree next year!

Real for me. I always wanted one growing up and begged my mum for one every year but she always said no. The year I got married, I got my first ever real tree and we've had one every year since. We got ours from a Christmas tree farm last year and it was so special going to choose it!

Real, always. But we are lucky to live very close to lots of public land. We either get a permit from the forest service and drive way up into the woods and cut our own tree, or head to my grandparents property and cut one there. I love the tradition even though I feel a little bit bad cutting down a tree each year. We always pick one that is so crowded we figure it wouldn't survive anyway. We often end up with a really funny shaped tree!

Ugh we haven't decided! We've had real the 2 Christmas's we spent at our house so far. But now that DD is here, it is a hassle to get it, set up, take care of it, take down, etc. Plus we don't even really have room for it anymore! I might make do with a small fake one...

Real, I just can't seem to not have a real tree, but the needles are driving me a lite crazy already!

Artificial. Something about a dying tree in my living room just weirds me out I also didn't grow up doing Christmas trees so maybe that's why.
