Christmas Trees. Which side will you choose? I killed a real one this year and drug it into my house for my amusement. We've had fake trees for years, but it's nice to have the real smell of a dying tree in the house again. Thing drinks like a pig, though, and sheds needles like crazy. I only miss having the gigantic Christmas light bulbs that threaten to catch the tree on fire at any moment. Anyhow, I think I'm switching sides to real for a few years. |

Fake all the way. No messy clean up and you can take it apart and use forever and ever. |

Fake, definitely. And the best? White. With a white Christmas tree, you can use ANY combo of colors, and it works perfectly. Plus, if you simply take red tinsel and wrap it around, your tree looks like a giant candy cane. (yes, we did this one year) Joy |

We always get a real tree. Fake trees seem too tacky. |

My girlfriend would like a real one but that requieres the effort of getting it, getting rid of it later...and don't me started about the needles! |

I can only remember having one real tree in my childhood. I think I was 6 or 7. I remember it being a fucking cunt. It would shed needles and then you had to give it water every day, and my parents made me do that part. I'd have to get down and climb under it and pour the water in, and would sometimes feel punctured by the needles while feeding the tree. It wasn't special. It was just annoying. Fake ftw. But I really don't like Christmas any more. Which is a major change from the first few Christmases spent here at KJ, where bABA and Ripper hated Christmas and I was like "you crazy." But I get it now. |

It's nothing to do with the inconvenience of a real one... it's more to do with the fact that real evergreens (or at least the ones that go on sale here) just aren't the right shape to be traditional, twentieth-century Christmas trees. What I mean is, the artificial ones, the ones in cartoons and on Christmas cards, gingerbread ones and chocolate ones and the little plastic ones on a Christmas cake, etc., etc., all seem to agree on the same basic shape, which is a tall cone. In the case of a line drawing, the sides may go in and out like the teeth of a saw, but it's still the same basic pointy shape. Whereas the real ones that people get in the UK are kind of squat and pear-shaped rather than conical. I don't know if they're bad trees or what, but they never look as festive to me as a plastic one shaped like a dunce's cap would. |

I have a real tree, but it was a gift from someone else (unasked for). Actually, it looks more like a branch turned upright. I like the smell of trees, but would rather have no decorations as then I have nothing to put away and store. Argos, how were you able to tolerate such a Christian/Pagan symbol? |
