Fake for us, I always used to have a real tree when I was a child, when back to a real tree a couple of years ago but DS didn't like it and has wanted a fake tree since.

So, the fake tree is up, and it’s not half bad. Seems like the White Company make good trees.

We get a real tree. We’ve done it for the last 4 years as we buy them from DS’ old infant school where they sell them to raise money for the PTA.

They’ve always been great and lasted well, we picked up this year’s this morning, now it just needs decorating!

We have a huge bushy fake one that's almost 20 years old , prior to that we would always have a real tree
This year we changed the settee / chairs in the lounge so it wouldn't fit in to its normal place
Have had a rearrangement of the chairs to get the tree in so the lounge looks a bit like a waiting room at the moment
I was food shopping yesterday and saw a lone real tree in a tub looking very forlorn and bedraggled , with roots coming out of the flowerpot, all of the branches protruding through the netting and the price was reduced. On the spur of the moment I bought it and have stood it outside my front door.

Today I've repotted it with some extra compost into one of my garden tubs. It's opening up really nicely- before it looked as if it had been kicked around warehouse. I've put some fairy lights on it. I'll see how it does in the New Year and maybe change it to a larger tub and keep it outside all year

In the earlier years of our marriage, DH and I had real trees, always from the same garden centre, and they always lasted. Then the centre was taken over by another company and we once got a tree that shed most of its needles before Christmas, so had the rigmarole of trying to get them to provide us with another.
When the kids came along we went for a fake tree for safety (to avoid them crawling around in & possibly eating needles).
I did mention to DH this year about getting a real tree this year now that youngest is 8, but we decided against it (mainly as we bought a new artificial tree last year). My thoughts was to have artificial tree in conservatory & real one in front room. That said, i've just bought my DD's a slimline tree from Argos for their bedroom which was only £15 & looks surprisingly quite nice for the money. I'm tempted to get another & put it up in conservatory as a surprise for DH! 😂

The last few years both. The artificial one went up in the living room last Sunday, and this weekend we'll get a real one for the conservatory.

I’ve had a horrible year but my lovely mate sent me this today for my birthday! Really made me smile as I opened it and put it together!

So I have a mini real tree now as well as our fake ones but the mini one is so special.
