Richard Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Do you prefer fake , real or do you not bother getting one?
BOF Posted December 8, 2008 Moderator Posted December 8, 2008 Real. The smell, the look. It doesn't take a great deal of effort to do Christmas properly and the real tree is essential.
The_Rev Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I prefer real ones. Christmas trees? Couldnt care less.
World_Domination Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Anybody think there will be a Xmas tree tax soon ? or even a fairy lights license ? Just had it stuck in my head for a couple of days, dont know why , maybe ive seen it in a movie or something
bickster Posted December 8, 2008 Moderator Posted December 8, 2008 real but personally speaking, if it wasn't for the family I really woldnt bother
kingphil Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I've opted for real, albeit I always have fake. Like to get mine up at start of December, so a real one wouldn't last till Xmas day. However, the one artificial tree I have is pretty damn good, and apart from the smell, you really cannot notice much different.
Nigel Posted December 8, 2008 VT Supporter Posted December 8, 2008 Got to be real every time, the smell of pine is part of Christmas!
Artetasgirl Posted December 8, 2008 Visiting Supporter Posted December 8, 2008 I have one of those ones with LED lights that goes different colours at my place, at me parents house we got a real one though - only Blue and White (Silver) decorations allowed
BOF Posted December 8, 2008 Moderator Posted December 8, 2008 only Blue and White (Silver) decorations allowed Haha, never thought of it being a tough time for rivals of red teams
mjmooney Posted December 8, 2008 VT Supporter Posted December 8, 2008 only Blue and White (Silver) decorations allowed Haha, never thought of it being a tough time for rivals of red teams Red is such a Christmassy colour, too.
Artetasgirl Posted December 8, 2008 Visiting Supporter Posted December 8, 2008 Banned in our house, as is red wrapping paper
Chindie Posted December 8, 2008 VT Supporter Posted December 8, 2008 I have one of those ones with LED lights that goes different colours at my place, at me parents house we got a real one though - only Blue and White (Silver) decorations allowed We always had a fake since we couldn't be bothered with the hassle of a real one, but it was a very good fake. And then that became too much hassle and the parents went and bought one of those LED ones, hateful horrible tacky thing. I think a major aspect of Christmas died when that was bought for me. Along with me just getting older anyway.
johnsonp Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I always have had a fake one for as long as I can remember. But it is not the most realistic fake but I only bought it a couple of years ago so will not invest in one of the ultra realistic trees just yet Also as kingphil said I must have the christmas tree up by the 1st of December (it was up the 29th of November this year due to the first falling on a Monday).
Pelle Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Real one all the way. Don't like faked things in general. Not even breasts. Although, wouldn't kick her out if she had...
Gabby15 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Prefer real but i'm looking after a dog this year & aparently they just piss on the real ones. Surely they would just do it on a fake on aswell? Or is it just the smell?
Nath182 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 We have a fake one, wouldn't like a real one. Seems like a real pain in the arse hoovering up the pines all the time, our fake is a pretty good one so it looks nice anyway.
