Christmas trees are much like women. At my age, I go to the mall just to sit and admire them, while trying to guess for myself if they're real.

Artificial is the way to go. They don't die as fast as the real ones.

I just hang up a few of those pine tree shaped car air fresheners on my artificial tree. They give us that great pine scent and make great ornaments.

Real tree's for me. Had to help the GF get one for her house and then went out and bought myself one for my house. Then I wondered why I bought one for my house, after all I will probably be at her house for Christmas. Where was the option to vote twice :) might help since the poll is now tied at 11 each. I bought hers from a treelot for 72 bucks, then went to target to get one for myself at 58 bucks. Are the tree's this year more expensive than the past years??

Remember when the Boy Scouts and other organizations used to sell Christmas trees on every corner? I guess the Christmas tree business isn't as lucrative as it once was.
I have a really nice artificial that I use some years, but still prefer the fresh smell of a live tree. We paid $37 for ours this year at Home Depot. Sounds like we should have gone to Lowes.
