Real or Fake Christmas
By Kirsten Joyce
I'd like to hear from our lovely viewers on good experiences/bad experiences with fake Christmas trees, and which you prefer....
I need some help from our lovely viewers since I'm new to the area-
Time is running out and my husband and I still need to put up a Christmas tree.. but do we go real or fake?
If we go with a real tree... where should we go to choose one? (I do realize that last minute in the game we'll get fairly slim-pickings). If you've got a favorite place in town please write in with the location. We'd definitely need a place that helps people attach the tree to the top of the car with a tarp, etc.
What are the pro's and con's of a fake tree..... who's had experience with both and please write me and let me know which you prefer and why.
I realize with a fake tree you don't have to deal with the maintenance factor, however what about storage- how large of an area do you need for a seven foot tree? Where do you store yours, and how does it look when you pull the tree back out the following year??
I'd really appreciate any input from our viewers on this matter.. thanks a bunch! Kirsten Joyce

I say go real. It is much more trouble, work and effort, but nothing beats it. Don't know where you live, but we buy from Whitfills. They are very helpful from buying, to putting on your vehicle.

My advice, if you have a male dog, don't go for the real tree. We had more to clean up than pine needles one year. If this is not an issue, you can't go wrong with a real tree. The branches are stronger for holding bigger ornaments and I believe the lights look prettier shining off real needles! We try to stay away from the more commercialized places and try to help out the Boy Scout Troop between 12th & 16th Streets & Glendale on the South side of the road. Right there to help, very friendly & helpful carrying it out. Even have the stands there for you. Good Luck!
