Advantages: real smell better

Disadvantages: have to decorate a real tree

We had always had a fake christmastree up untill last year, over the years we had had various different ones ranging fron the box standard plain tree that you decorated your self to the fiber optic tree with stars and candles on it that we had last.

When getting the tree out of the loft last year we realised that it had seen better days so decided to get a new one, we opted for a real tree this time.

Real trees begin in price at around £15 and vary from style of tree, i was concerned about the tree sheeding its needles too early and having a bald tree by christmas day like i had seen at other peoples houses but we had a tree that wasnt supposed to sheed and it didnt, the pine needles did go hard but didnt fall off unless you messed with the tree.

After being converted i would never go back to a artificial tree again

+real trees make your home smell beautiful
+no need to pack it away after christmas
+can choose a different size or style each year
- you find needles for weeks after
- have to decorate it your self

Summary: real is better by far
