Fake for now
I prefer real, but I only do fake right now. Mostly because I am still only living in half of my house and don’t have a nice living room to put one up in (Yikes! Editor needed for that sentence!).
My trees (a small one in the kitchen/office, and a tiny one in my bedroom) are usually decorated with disorganized gusto. I like tinsel and lots of lights that stay on constantly… none of this blinking stuff for me!
Of course, some day when my house is finished, I want to get a real tree. There is always that question of destroying trees, although, since Christmas trees are grown specifically for that purpose and replanted on a renewable cycle, I don’t think it is any different than the millions of poinsettias that we let die on our dining room tables before New Year’s eve!
Personally, I keep mine alive and plant them in my flower garden in the spring, where they can die with dignity. :)
