I know the fake ones are perky and perfect. They are right there ready to be pulled out when the time comes. They come with all the fixings if you are willing to pay for it, but I'm a purist. I like the flaws. Sure, they aren't perfect, but I've grown fond of them. Not to mention the smell, the smell really gets me in the mood. Oh yeah I'm talking about Christmas trees by the way.

Fake Christmas trees are too firm and rigid. I prefer the the softness of a real tree.

Fake tend to have blemishes and marks that give away the fact they aren't real. I'm a real man, personally.

The wife has severe asthma. Our trees are fake. Three are plastic and one is ceramic. Upside is we have never gone to the ER during Christmas season because of a cedar or fir tree.

I played cards at IP in Biloxi this week. Fake Christmas trees serving drinks all over the place. While they were fun to look at, after a day or so, I missed the smell of real trees.

Real trees require water, shed all over the place, and are probably a bigger fire hazard than fake trees. Give me a fake tree any day. It also has a nice designated place in the attic the whole year and lasts at least 20 years if you take even decent care of it. You also don't have to trim a fake tree; it's the same and ready to go every year.

So let's add it all up. Fake trees:

-Safer
-Less maintenance
-Last much longer
-No disposal required
-No ruining flooring from water/needles/sap
-No worrying about dog peeing on it or cat climbing it
-No going out in the frozen tundra and fighting with your family and other people to find a tree

Want to get in the Christmas mood more? Go to church, run shitloads of lights, and make some legit eggnog. *drops mic*

Everybody is talking about how expensive fake ones are but if the owner of some top notch real ones knows they are top notch, then you are going to have to shell out some major coin to bring them home to look at too.

wife said "quit staring those are fake!"

I said, "so, what's your point?"

It was not a merry Christmas.

Technology has improved the product so much that you can't tell the difference in well done fakes. I'm not picky as long as they're nice. Trees or tits
