I prefer real tree but it just depends if I want to deal with it or not. I have a small fake one I can use if needed. We usually decorate it to split the difference between a christmas tree and a bush.
I had a live tree for as long as I could remember growing up. Once I moved out though, switched to fake and have been since moving in with Jenn too. Real trees definitely look and smell better, but fake are MUCH less maintenance, especially if you get one with pre-attached lights.
That said, @Sno, I really like that tree trunk ornament idea. Maybe I can think of a comparable one to do in its stead.
You guys act like getting a real tree is a house remodel. Hardware store, tie to roof, bring home. Water every once in a while. Ta da! Fancy Christmas!

At the risk of being sucked into your wedding planner decorative vortex, that is kind of cute.

It's all fun and games until you bring a squirrel or termites into your house.

I've live tried literally my whole life and never had a termite or squirrel or any sort of bug for that matter. Ever.
Where are these mangos?

Mine goes in the back of my just fine but yeah. Needs to be watered at least once a day, too. In the beginning I water twice a day because that's how much it drinks.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm... See those stockings? Those aren't for kids with 2 legs and 2 arms. (Now there's currently 8 that I should claim on my taxes)
So no. We don't Christmas tree it up much.
Last year we had to resort to stapling what resembled a tree to the wall, and they still found ways to fuck it up.

If you have a space heater next to a tree, and those curtains (God, they're awful) then you deserve the flames.
HAHAHha the corner looks like it was from an episode of Hoarders where they just swept everything out 2 feet from the tree and left it as it.
Look all that shit thrown under the tree, like sweeping dirt under the carpet.

Your idiotic vehicle was like driving around in a living room. I approve.

Just saying, I could see my experience being like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation, or this:
I have a hard enough time remembering to water the dog, and she tells me when it's overdue.
The fire risk is real if you're careless, for sure. Ours is never on if we're not home. It's on a timer that turns it on and off but I also wired it to have easy access to a switch to turn it off if we leave home for any length of time. And I water the thing 1-2 times/day.
