  Along with no guns/weapons (previous thread) we're also not allowed to have real Christmas trees because they are a huge fire hazard. Fake all the way.

  I'd rather have a fake tree than pine needles all over my house. lol

  we had 2 house fires growing up. Neither were caused by a tree but my parents have always done everything to avoid any type of fire hazards since. Grew up with fake sand am continuing the trend. Plus, pre-lit trees are genius!

  Two house fires?! Oh wow, yeah, I wouldn't take the chance on something as silly as a tree either.

  Real! I love the way it smells and we thankfully haven't had an issue with needles.

  Real here, id rather fake because it easier but my husband is quite the Christmas tree guru. He spends like 2 hours picking out the perfect one, them trims it to his idea of perfection. .. its annoying and cute all at the same time

  Always had a real one growing up -- too much of a hassle in my single days... no reason to change now until LO is old enough that we can make an "event" out of going to pick out the tree.  Plus this way we can just keep it in the basement with the lights still on it and bring it up the day after Thanksgiving; take it down the day after Christmas...

  Growing up I was allergic to the trees (childhood asthma) so we always had fake.  Last November we moved during hurricane Sandy and I think it got thrown out.  So we have a real one right now. DH's family is big into going tree "hunting" each year so we tagged along this year.  Next year we are going back to fake status at my request

  NPR just had a great segment on real vs fake trees... apparently fake trees make a huge carbon foot print compared to real ones.
  We have always had a real tree

  I'm allergic to the outdoors, so I'm pretty sure a real tree would kill me.

  I always have a real tree..but since having Ella and everything going in her mouth we are temporarily using an artificial for a few years so I do not need to worry about pine needles

  We have a fake one but bought a real one for Bradley's first Christmas. Next year we will be back to the fake tree.

  Always had a real tree growing up and still do. We do the whole "walk through the farm and cut down the tree yourself" thing. My husband is really into it.
