[Floyd R. Turbo]

[3catwoman3]

1. A quite realistic-looking...

...fake. I would prefer fresj, but my husband got really tired of trying to get them to stand up straight.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. Youd think someone could create a real Xmas 🎄 tree that was straight!

[underpants]

2. Oh Christmas trees

#notwhatiwashopingfor

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. Ill mark you as No🎄!

[nykym]

5. Love it

wish I had it.
Yes it is fake

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Wish I had it too!

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. typically real, but last two years, none...

because we spend Christmas with our daughter near Seattle.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Smart! 👍🏻

[Iggo]

9. I vote Fake.

But I'm always outvoted.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

10. Its a conspiracy I tell you! 🎄

[democratisphere]

11. None.

Last and this Christmas will be spent at my son's house in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a fake tree and I have none.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. Best way to go! 🎄 👍🏻

[flt rsk]

12. Christmas

In honor of the birth of Jesus: we killed a tree.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. It no doubt made a threatening gesture! 🎄

[shanny]

13. Fake upside-down tree...I have yuuuuuge ornaments.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Braggart! 🎄😂

[PJMcK]

46. How big are your hands? (n/t)

[Polly Hennessey]

14. Fake.

It is too sad to toss out a beautiful tree after the holidays. Seeing all the trees on the curb after Christmas 🎄 is not a happy sight.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. I stopped getting real when we no longer had a wood burning fireplace! 🎄

[FSogol]

26. We cut ours into three and put it out into the woods. The brush makes good cover for rabbits and

other critters.

[crazycatlady]

67. In my community

Trees are used to build dunes on the beaches.

[MrScorpio]

15. All fake, all the time

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. All right! 🎄

[FSogol]

19. That's a photo of the North American Silver Pine.

Distinctive because of its silvery needles and tripod-like roots.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. Look at the big brain on FSogol! 😂

[Adsos Letter]

31. Ha!

[Freddie]

21. Real and DH chops down

We normally spend hours going to all the local you-cut tree farms (there's lots around here) so he can find the "perfect" tree. He did, eventually. That was Sunday and it gets decorated Wed. evening.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Very cool! 🎄

[FSogol]

25. Real for us. Love the smell and something my ancestors were doing too

besides consuming whiskey and beer

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Nice! 🎄

Cheers! 🥃

[janterry]

28. Nordic Pine

Real and we keep it

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Very cool! 🎄

[Adsos Letter]

30. Fake

My wife paid quite a bit for a fake tree that looks very real, and has served us well for over 15 years.

When my kids were little we used to make the annual trip to the tree farm, where they got to choose the tree, and I did the sawing.

Miss those days, mostly because it was always fun with the kids.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Nice! 🎄 I forgot the saw once!

[Adsos Letter]

36. !

[irisblue]

33. No tree....2 young 😸😸

one likes to climb😼. I did put a holiday bowl of ornaments on the coffee table....yep, both like rolly polly things.😼😼

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Nice! 👍🏻

[MikeydaDog]

35. I remember when. Nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. When?

[samnsara]

38. i have always wanted an aluminum tree!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. They are cool! 🎄

[Tribalceltic]

39. splurging on a new fake tree this year

[link:?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF|

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. Sweet! 🎄

[samnsara]

40. i live in the forest..surrounded by trees...but i wont cut them down.

...they would dry out in my house anyway within a week. Just bought a gorgeous tree from amazon...flocked with led lights. So beautiful I'm not putting any decorations on it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. Very nice! 🎄

[genxlib]

41. It's the multi-colored spot light that really makes this work

It makes me happy to see someone recycling their disco outfits.

We go fake but only if my wife makes me. I would just as soon avoid the trouble all together. Bah Humbug.

At my grandfathers farm, we used to always take the tree out to burn after Christmas. If you ever saw one of those things burn, you would not want one in your house. It is a fire hazard. I can't imagine how many houses were lost when they used to put real candles on the things.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

52. So true! 🎄

[CrispyQ]

42. Fake.

Not my tree, but I wish it were!

My grandmother had an aluminum tree with the rotating light just like the one you pictured. Is that yours?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

54. Awesome! 🎄

Unfortunately not mine!

[GeorgeGist]

43. Fake

[Floyd R. Turbo]

55. 🎄👍🏻

[dewsgirl]

44. The last real tree I had, had a nest of Canadian

Jumping spiders in it. We bought it from Lowes, I had never even heard of jumping spiders.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

56. Oh man!

[dewsgirl]

69. Lol they were literally hopping of the tree just

like that. Our oldest son was only two weeks old, I freaked!

[Fla Dem]

45. It's real in the fact that it exists and IS a Christmas tree. It is not however a natural tree.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

57. Getting all technical eh?🎄

[Binkie The Clown]

47. If I can't grab my chainsaw and turn it into 2x4s then it's fake. nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

58. Very true! 🎄

[bluestarone]

51. real

Balsam fir every year!!!!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

59. Sweet! 🎄

[Throck]

53. 3 cats.

No tree.

Little gremlins.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

60. Wise choice! 🎄

[Throck]

70. The tinsel out their butts was the last straw.

[Tikki]

61. No tree...no decorations..our adult son has all that at his home for the kids.

The Tikkis

[Floyd R. Turbo]

62. Nice! 👍🏻

[trueblue2007]

63. we have a 6 1/2 foot "Fake" tree. It's really pretty.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

65. Nice! 🎄

[MFM008]

64. Real if I can get one

That's a retro tree for sure.
Plus bubble lights.... and multicolor

[Floyd R. Turbo]

66. 👍🏻🎄👍🏻

[trueblue2007]

72. was getting so we could not afford a REAL one.

[Codeine]

68. A nice-looking fake tree I've been using

for about twenty years. Purchased post-Christmas on sale at Target for less than half price.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

76. Cool! 🎄

[Kali]

71. real

a few branches off a juniper tree tied together with baling wire, probably at the last minute on xmas eve. love the smell and the pyro effects in March or April when I finally take it down.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

77. Why remove it so soon? 🎄😏

[Kali]

81. you might note I didn't put a year in there

[Floyd R. Turbo]

82. Never mind!

[zanana1]

73. Real; from the silver tree forest. nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

78. Sweet! 🎄

[blogslut]

74. A fake 3ft one.

When I lived in the country I would collect a few tumbleweeds. I fashioned them into a "tree" with an old truck tire painted gold as a base.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

79. Great hack! 🎄

[ProfessorGAC]

75. Fake, But Authentic Looking

Aunt and uncle had a tree fire when i was around 8 (Mid-60's)

My mom and dad decided then to go artificial. So, i became part of that crowd.

My wife and i have never had anything but fake, except for a wreath over the fireplace, and we don't use the fireplace when it's up there. (Well, we barely use the fireplace at all.)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

80. Scary! 🎄🔥😢

[ProfessorGAC]

83. Yeah.

We lived about 15 blocks away. My mom called to let them know we were leaving. One of the bulbs popped while my uncle was sitting watching TV. (Remember, this is the early to mid-60's, so we're not talking little italian lights, but the full 4 or 6 watt christmas bulbs).

The tree caught. He jumped up and pulled the extension cord (lucky it was on the side wall and not behind the tree) and ran to the kitchen to get a pail of water. When he got back the living room was wasted. We show up. Picture window busted out, flames coming out the window, and fire department on the way. (Again, lucky, but the FD was 3 blocks from their house.) The overall damage wasn't enormous. No total loss, but certainly ruined their christmas. They had to spend a few nights at our house and then moved back home, with a plywood picture window for a few more days.

Took close to a month before they got the living room back to normal and the piano was never the same after the heat and fire water.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

84. Oh man!

[ProfessorGAC]

85. So I Think You Can See Why. . .

. . .my family swore off real trees permanently.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

86. What category

Would a flocked and decorated 3 foot tumbleweed fit into?

[herding cats]

87. Totally fake.

My tree is so fake Donatella Versace is envious of it.
