Real trees smell wonderful. If you get the right kinds (like fir trees) the sap is minimal, and the needles are soft. This makes clean-up really easy compared to other pines.

The smell alone makes real trees wonderful, but I haven't had a real tree in forever.

Real trees are best, but I haven't had one in years because I can't keep the cat out of it. And they are more of a bother.

I love a real tree, but they make me sneeze and my eyes itch and I get a headache. I use a fake tree. I like to leave it up until Mardi Gras is over. That can be a while. You can't do that with a real tree.

I love the smell of real trees, but not the cost of having to buy a new one every year, the "wasting" of a tree if you don't buy one to plant, and the mess. We have a fake tree and I just burn pine tree scented candles. My husband "pines" for a real tree so we'll probably get one every once in awhile as a special treat, and I do want to plant a row of trees by the back of our fence so that would be a good reason to get some we can plant.

Love the smell, hate the clean up but it is worth it.

I love having a real tree. A scented candle would not be enough for me as far as the aroma a tree provides. Clean up sucks, there are still pine needles from last year in this house. But as far as sap, Goo Gone!

I would love to have a real tree, but due to having a cat and a small dog, I can only have a fake tree so that they do not knock it over or eat it!

I love the smell of a real tree, and the cleanup isnt too bad when you consider the amount of work at putting up the old fake tree we have.

Real trees! I couldn't have one this year because I live in a small apartment but I wanted one so bad!
