Fake or Real Christmas Tree? - GoFuckYourself.com

kristin · 12-18-2006, 07:48 AM

I always use to bitch about fake trees, until I had kids.

I've joined the club, spent the $250 and will never have to buy another tree again. But it just doesn't have the same feeling or smell ...

Jakke PNG · 12-18-2006, 07:58 AM

Fake trees are a fucking joke. It's either a real one or no tree.

spazlabz · 12-18-2006, 08:17 AM

I used to hate artifical trees too, until I had 2 kids and 3 dogs and the clean up was a nightmare every day!

I have an artifical one that looks really good, is easy to set up and take down and no pine needles all over the floor or fire hazard.

Tom_PM · 12-18-2006, 08:23 AM

When I was a kid we'd always have a real tree and even as a small child I didnt understand why we killed a tree then threw it on the curb, lol.
Fake is fine, and it'll be around for years n years.

Flymaster · 12-18-2006, 08:27 AM

Fake. Because i afraid about our "green" planet. Save our forests for our kids!!!

Green peace :D

Halcyon · 12-18-2006, 09:05 AM

My roomie and I just had an argument about this... Luckily I caught it on tape:

fake, youngest daughter is allergic to real pines

just a punk · 12-18-2006, 10:15 AM

fake only.

ronaldo · 12-18-2006, 10:19 AM

We've been using a fake one for years but as soon as the mother-in-law decides she wants to spend a Christmas with us, we'll be buying a real one. She's allergic and with any luck, it'll keep her away.

ADL Colin · 12-18-2006, 10:19 AM

Same as tits. Fake.

wyldworx · 12-18-2006, 10:46 AM

I would rather a real one, but taking care of them is a nightmare! They make alot of mess and are prone to many diseases!

Fake and easy to dismantled Christmas tree.

We use fake too, its easier with two cats and easier to clean up

No tree..Santa just leaves lumps of coal

Tanker · 12-18-2006, 09:05 PM

get a real tree from a tree farm! they are good for the enviorment

Tanker · 12-18-2006, 09:07 PM

Am I harming the forest by choosing a real tree?
Definitely not! Christmas trees do not come from the forest! Almost everywhere in North America and for sure in Ontario, Christmas trees are grown as a crop on tree farms. For every tree harvested, there are ten more coming along, otherwise the farmer could not harvest each year.

Tanker · 12-18-2006, 09:07 PM

Is tree farming harmful to our environment?

NO! Christmas trees are, except for cultivated forests, the most environmentally friendly crop around. This is because a tree is harvested only after ten years. To ensure future harvests, ninety percent of the farm must remain in trees all the time.

Tanker · 12-18-2006, 09:08 PM

How are real Christmas trees beneficial to our environment?

Christmas trees produce oxygen and protect wildlife
Just one acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen to support eighteen people.
Just one acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen to support eighteen people. In the process, CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere, counteracting the production of CO2 resulting from human use of fossil fuels. Trees also act as air pollution filters and can remove up to 13 tons of airborne pollutants per acre per year. Christmas tree farms are havens for a wide variety of bird and mammal species including grosbeaks, sparrows, chickadees, foxes, coyotes, mice, voles, and squirrels. The "edge effect" created by a stand of Christmas trees next to a woodlot or an open field is known to increase wildlife species diversity.

rowan · 12-18-2006, 09:08 PM

I've been thinking about asking the local tree farm if they'll let us take the entire tree, roots n' all. They give you a saw and you choose and cut the tree yourself, so they wouldn't care about any extra work required... in fact we're saving them a bit since they don't need to remove the dead stump later.

The only problem is that they may figure out that if we buy a live tree we may not be back for a few years.

rowan · 12-18-2006, 09:10 PM

Another problem might be that it outgrows our ceiling height. Didn't think of that, lol

BlackCrayon · 12-18-2006, 09:10 PM

had a fake tree all of my childhood but last year the gf and i got a real tree and i like it. they're cheap as hell up here and just look so much better.

Me and Ellisa have really nice real tree this year

Tanker · 12-18-2006, 09:14 PM

they look better because they are not perfectly shaped and they make the house smell great

Vitasoy · 12-19-2006, 08:53 AM

Using a fake one this year.

fuhkinglou · 12-19-2006, 12:34 PM

Real tree. Smells awesome. Live in the city. Don't have a place to store a fake one and I ain't dismantling a tree every year. Also makes me feel like a big man carrying it home in front of my kid. :D

SmokeyTheBear · 12-19-2006, 12:37 PM

yah as mentioned its the smell that does it.

aimeesweet · 12-19-2006, 12:45 PM

I love real trees... can't bring myself to have a fake one...

LauraLee · 12-19-2006, 01:01 PM

Real tree here, would have it no other way. Besides fake trees bring bad feng shui

salesman · 12-19-2006, 01:04 PM

we have for over 5 years the same fake tree, it saves time and money and is sometimes nicer than a real one.

Adult Search Results · 12-19-2006, 01:21 PM

fake for real

12-19-2006, 01:22 PM

Fake.
Less chance of a fire, lessmess on the floor, on pain in the ass bringing it home then throwing it away.

lot · 12-19-2006, 02:52 PM

Fake, cos if every family gets a real tree imagine the scales. For real trees lovers there are parks.

GlydeGirl · 12-19-2006, 02:57 PM

I prefer a real tree, but my best friend gave us her fake tree a few years back and now we put that to good use every year. When that tree finally packs it in, we'll probably go back to real trees.

Mr. Romance · 12-19-2006, 03:01 PM

I love the smell of real, but the fakes look pretty good these days

Mr. Romance

madawgz · 12-19-2006, 03:02 PM

you need a real tree to get that nice smell in your house

ArkansasDave · 12-19-2006, 03:18 PM

wich ever one attracts the presents from Santa

the Shemp · 12-19-2006, 03:21 PM

fake and prewired with lights

4Man · 12-19-2006, 03:48 PM

Fake is better.We don't detroy nature.

kristin · 12-20-2006, 11:13 AM

My whole thing is the fact that the fake tree looks way nicer than the brown selection we have here in Tucson, AZ. ; )

MikeB · 12-20-2006, 11:16 AM

Hi Kristin,

We did fake for a few years. Getting all of the branches unfolded, and each section correctly installed and wired never went trouble free. I missed the smell of a natural tree, so we've been keeping the fake tree in the box the last 2 years, and we've been picking up a natural tree. The kids like putting the ornaments on a real tree more than a fake tree. And if Christmas can't be for the real reason, at least make it for the kids :-)

I've only had fake trees in my house but will get a real tree at some point. I did look at real trees this year and didn't see any that I loved.
