Real or Artifical by bkbinthecity

Real or Artifical

I still remeber the first year my parents went withan artifical tree fro Christmas. I went out and bought a real one and put it up in our family room in the basement. I insisted it could not be Christmas without one.
Even to this day I insist on a real Christmas tree.So I could not resist taking this shot of a tree lot which was across the street from where Melody's parents live

I buy real ones, too. :)

We've never had a real tree, not even as a kid. But we have had some darn good artifical ones, that looked real.

I'm with you. Real or nothing. Can't beat the smell of a new tree in the house.
December 16th, 2011  
Real!!! I'm the only one in the family that still has a real tree. I love the smell and I also love the hunt for the perfect tree. Many years ago, we went into the woods and cut down a cedar tree. Now, we get our tree from a Lowes store. We have both been sick and haven't had a chance to get our tree yet. Planning to get it this weekend. :0)

I'm the same way . . gotta have something "live" in the house or it doesn't feel right. Great photo, bkb!

Artificial for me, but real for other people who have time to clean up.

I've never bought a tree, so it would be no-tree for me:-) now I don't buy one because of the cats, i'm afraid what they can do with it:-)

you were determined when you were a child- good for you! real trees are the best
December 16th, 2011  
Absolutely REAL!! The only people who should have artificial trees are those with asthma or anyone who is highly allergic to firs. In my mind there are no other exceptions! haha! And yes, we have a real tree up this year- I did it all by myself this time and I'm quite proud of it!! Nice shot.

They look perfectly shaped trees, great to decorate.

artificial for me, we chop enough trees down I reckon, and the pins will fall this year in the UK because Autumn was too warm, the trees shed worse after a warm autumn.

I've done both - I like a real tree, but I like to buy one later on in the month and there are so few options now - interesting shot

Nice Shot! Good Story

we actually used to go to a friends nursery and cut down our own tree every year, with our own chainsaw....I miss those days....

:) I like having a real tree
December 17th, 2011  
nothing smells as good as a christmas tree!

Always except for 2 times..but then we went back to a real tree again..the artificial one is stored away.I love real candles on the tree...they give the it a beautiful glow. ours is up but so far not lit yet. my husband always says we must burn the candles to make sure they are all placed right.

You've really captured how a tree lot looks at night. We have an artificial tree because real ones got so expensive--but I miss the real ones!

@eudora They are but I still think it is worth it
December 17th, 2011  
@bruni We have never done real candles. It would be nice to se a photo of that
December 17th, 2011  
@stepheesue That is what I love about them
December 17th, 2011  
@kerristephens They are the best
December 17th, 2011  
@maggotx We went to my aunts farm one year to get ours
December 17th, 2011  
@gene Glad you enjoyed it
December 17th, 2011  
@shanne Yes that is the dilemma but a real one is so nice to have
December 17th, 2011  
@chewyteeth I never thought of that but I still like a real one
December 17th, 2011  
@http365proj Interestingly enough I enjoya real tree I just do not enjoy decorating it
December 17th, 2011  
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann
December 17th, 2011  
@jenrobcarr I still am determined to have a real one to this day
December 17th, 2011  
@caatjeg That would be a challenge indeed
December 17th, 2011  
@bdb3471 I know that is a the drawback to them
December 17th, 2011  
@karenann Thanks
December 17th, 2011  
@denisedaly That is what I love the most about them
December 17th, 2011  
@bobg I have to admit there are some truly amazing artificial ones for sure
December 17th, 2011  
@amyjriker They are the best
December 17th, 2011  
Real or nothing! You can not beat a real tree.
December 17th, 2011  
@claireuk Exactly
December 17th, 2011  
100% real, even though my mom doesn't think like that, luckily my grandma still buys a real one

i've decorated a real tree and i swear the decors look much more 'festive' on it rather than the fake one. cool shot.
