I do admire anyone who goes all out with a fresh tree every year
The cost and shedding clean up, puts us off

I love real Christmas trees , we always had one when we were growing up, often brought home on a push bike by our Da , before he got a Honda 50 , then a car , easier to transport then☺
Used to be a real tree when mine were small too , until we got the dog . Who loved trying to eat the tree . Or trying to climb into it . Artificial become a lifesaver ☺
Enough nostalgia for one night!

Didn't think it would be that low. You couldn't even make a generalisation that it's an urban/rural split or an age group split. Just every bodies personal preference.

So now we know most of you have an artificial tree, how do you decorate it? A star on top, and angel, a homemade image of Des Lynam?
#Advent Question 15:
Do you, or would you, have a star on the top of your tree?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?
PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9

Very low percentage for real trees. Then again I don't know anyone who goes natural anymore, could the bulk of the real trees be being bought by shops and businesses to put in their receptions and offices I wonder. They always seem to have natural ones.

I love the idea of a real tree but all that effort with the shedding and the hassle of finding a decent one, I don't have the time to be dealing with it!
Also we have to think of the environment don't we...

A real living tree with roots in a pot is probably the best for the environment. I’d nearly consider one of them.

We've had ours for about seven now so I'm *almost* winning?

Neo trims the lead a little, but Shane holds on.
At the bottom, it's looking like a long way back for Spears
