Title: I guess it's time for the annual poll. Post by: MFAWG on November 21, 2009, 11:23:33 AM Real for me. Fake trees are the REAL war on Christmas.

And I have the same attitude when it comes to women's breasts. Title: Re: I guess it's time for the annual poll.

I figure we've saved around $1200 in that time.

Fake here. We do have 3 spruce trees in the front yard that get the light treatment so there is that. Title: Re: I guess it's time for the annual poll. Post by: geo1 on November 21, 2009, 11:59:57 PM Nine foot Fake from about 1986 to 2002. No tree since. Have saved about 20 hrs of set up and decorating each year since 2002. Have been some really stress free holidays during this time.

Title: Re: I guess it's time for the annual poll. Post by: Salamander on November 22, 2009, 01:13:43 PM Fake, especially if you plan to visit family during the holidays. Nothing more anticlimactic than coming back to a yellow tree.
Let alone, apartment. Stairs. Lack of real living room space. You get the idea. Even our fake tree is rather skinny because of that. Now, when we upgrade to anywhere with a significant livingroom, I'll rethink this whole "real" think. |
