Fake because everything in my life is fake.

Sadly both. Usually a really small real one on sale and we have a nice fake one. So I didn’t cast a ballot

you can get the sprays and ornaments that give off the pine tree smell

Depends what my neighbor gets ; I usually sneak in and steal it in the middle of the night. They never seem to mind because they seem very happy anyway on Christmas so I've been doing it for years.

I always used to get very sick in December as a kid. Turns out I'm allergic to most tree pollens, so bringing a tree inside isn't a great idea.
Honestly having a fake one is so much easier. I just miss the smell of the real ones a bit.

A real fresh dead tree that’s quickly growing mold

Only ever had fake, I will never get a real one. I can’t stand spiders and bugs, and I’ve heard nightmares about real trees bringing in pests. No thank you! Even if it’s a slim chance, I’m not gonna take it. Also, we have cats who wreak enough havoc with the fake tree, I don’t need to give them an easier to climb option.

Yes Virginia, Christmas trees are real as long as children believe in their hearts and adults provide an assist.

We’ve always done a real tree, we have a 6 year old and he looks forward to going out and looking for a tree every year and has a lot of fun searching for it, so that’s worth it to us. I imagine though when he’s much older we would switch to a fake one but who knows

I've had a real one growing up, but now that I'm married I'll be getting a fake one. It's just easier to set up and take down, no need to deal with strapping it to the roof of the car, no need to clean up fallen pine needles or squeeze into a shaky stand. I'll miss the nice smell but not the fire hazard.

I have always gotten a real tree, but I'm tired of spending money on a plant I throw out every year. I'm probably going to get a fake tree this year. I can't smell pine anyway....

Love real trees, used to always cut one fresh each year. Unfortunately, my kid and dog are allergic.
Fake tree with the "scenticles" (icicle shaped green things) from Yankee Candle smell pretty close to authentic.

My mom got a fake tree last year, i never had one, sometimes I would just stare at the damn thing thinking I was getting oxygen being the mindless teen I am, but there was a bit of a mess which isn’t horrible, but my dogs loved sniffing it
