Do you prefer fake or real Christmas trees?

It's getting harder to tell them apart, except for the smell and I bet you can buy that in a spray can. Still, some argue against cutting down healthy young trees to serve as ornament holders, but with the increase in C02 in the atmosphere, the planet is turning greener. So many pros and cons...

Prefer the real, but the effort required to get one, haul it home, cut off the bottom and maintain it, drove me to the fake.

I like the artificial trees, must cleaner and last a lot longer than the real thing. I've had an artifical so long that can't remember having a real one. I just know that the real ones didn't last long, dropped a lot of needles that would clog up the vacuum sweeper, and then the water in the tree holder would spill all over the carpeting. Yes, I'm sticking with artificial CPT Jack Durish

I prefer a real tree, love the hint of smell it gives off in the house.

Gave up on Christmas trees years ago. Too much trouble.
