Fake, white, dark decorations, lots of crystal & silver bits, and a cat on top if I can catch her.

I like real tough i have fake this year good old traditional tree red and gold ans coloured fairy lights.

I do fake!
Initially it was because we were very poor the first year we were married and my DH said we could either buy a real tree for £12.00 or pay the same for a fake and make it last for the next twelve years.... we made it last 13. Then two years ago I went to but a new one. this one only cost eight pounds and so I've only another 6 to go!!!
Its gold decs for me. I buy a huge can of gold spray and spray all the decs gold.
Eden doesn't like our stunnning gold look and so she has a small pound shop tree in her room with all the bright and gaudy decs on. She was so proud of her last years tree she kept it up until march!

Reals look and smell nice but are too mucky! And not good for the environment! (ok so a load of plastic tree's isn't too I KNOW! )

Xmas Tree

I don't do Xmas!
Decorate for Yule.. well a bit.. Candles and evergreens.

Since the kids are grown, dont do Santa either!

Fake............since having the children. I was also sick of needles dropping everywhere and i had to get the hoover out everyday

[caketopper]

fake as the needles get everywhere from real ones, we normally have a fibre optic one

[Bay-Bee]

I voted fake as I come up in a rash with real ones!

[Snow angel]

I love real ones but they just dont like me. So i have to have fake with white,silver and lilac decorations

[Bowed Over]

I have a fake green one with gold and silver decorations. I always fancied getting a real tree but to be truthful the needles falling puts me off!!

Cheers.

Gotta be a real one, had a fibreoptic tree one year, just wasn't the same.

We get ours from the local forestry (legally, not over the hedge!!) and it's one of those that doesn't lose its needles easily.
