Real or Fake

A main part of decorating for Christmas is getting the Christmas tree and decorating it. There are mainly two types of trees; a real one then an artificial one.  The artificial ones are made up of PVC. PVC is Polyvinyl Chloride, some are even made from Aluminum and some are even Fiber-optic illuminated.  You have more chance of your fake tree catching on fire instead of the real one. Now, the non-artificial Christmas tree options are spruce; there are various types of Spruce you can get.

The real topic and question here is which tree is actually better in different ways.  Well, if someone buys a fake one you can use it year round; all you have to do is pack it up and put it in the box and back into storage it goes.  They are also quit simple to set up (most of them are color coated). Also real Christmas trees are actually very messy; you can and will get Pine Needles all over your house which is a pain thus why a real Christmas tree isn’t that good of an idea. So clean wise and storage wise a fake Christmas tree is a better idea.

Real Christmas trees are fuller, most fake ones you can see right through them which are not very pleasing to the eye. Although they are kind of messy, they smell pretty amazing.  There is just something about the pine that makes you feel all warm on the inside.  Also going to get a real Christmas tree is just a fun thing to do with the family, it’s like a bonding day. There is nothing like going out with your family and picking out a Christmas tree together. You can’t really bond with your family while picking out a fake tree; it’s just not the same.
