I am surprised at how many artificial tree users there are. Way more than I expected.
I have mostly lived where I could just go get a real one from the woods if I wanted to, so I guess that gives me a bias. If I couldn’t have a real tree, I dont think I would want one at all.
I am not much into christmas, but the whole bringing a tree home with a connection to nature makes it worthwhile. Love the smell of a fresh tree too.
Never had issues with needles or bugs so I find that strange as well. I mean sure, the tree drops some needles at the end, but that is what the skirt is for. The few outside of that is just a single day of vacuuming that you would be doing anyways.
I’ve always had real trees. I love the smell too much to go with a fake one. And I agree, there’s something magical and nostalgic about the whole process of picking out a tree, and tying it to the top of your car to take to your house. It’s part of the Christmas tradition m

Also the whole no microplastics being generated thing. You’d think that since that discovery was made people would be quicker to choose non-plastic and yet here we are.
We always had an artificial one growing up, but if I ever buy a Christmas tree myself I’ll buy a real one.

Same. This comment section is so bizarre to me.

Not sure how real this survey is, but they say 83% of households do a fake tree.

Wow. That’s crazy to me. What’s the point?
I assume because it’s cheaper and easier, but I was surprised to hear that too.
