View Full Version : Christmas Trees
What type of christmas tree's do you prefer?
Do you like them fake or real, thin or fat/wide?
Green, white, blue, pink or another colour?
I like to stick with the traditional green ones, but it has to be wide with no big gaps between the branches and I also prefer to add my own lights and decorations so no fibre optic ones for me.

I prefer real trees but we have a fake one. It's green but it's got fibre optic lights on the tip of the branches
We're pretty much the same as you Josy, always get a real one that's wideish and not too sparse, and add our own decorations each year
fake, less mess.
pretty big

I'd love a real one but we don't have enough space for it
Fake green realistic looking tree... although I did consider one if these pencil trees this year just to create more space, but Dave said it looked "****ing ridiculous" :)
oh and green, i just assumed that was a given. White trees are so wrong :bored:

I meant just the traditional green colour, I can't be doing with real ones any more, the last time we had one we were still standing on the odd pine needle months later :laugh:

Fake tree now for less mess but realistic looking... It is prelit with berries on as I am so anal about light spacing being perfectly even it made sense to get one that was already done right. I have traditional colour scheme of red gold and green and a star on top. Make a full night of putting it up every year, ooh this is making me excited.
One of my neighbours put their tree up last night - ridiculous.

I prefer real ones, they look so much better but I couldnt be arsed with all the hoovering and stuff that comes with it. We have a crappy fake green one that gets utterly attacked with tinsel so you can hardly even see the green :joker:

I've got two massive Christmas trees outside my house, they're about 30' tall. I've got a tree surgon taking them down at the beginning of December and they're going up on two local village greens. I feel strange about them going... but they're kind of fulfilling their destiny.

Fake tree, because the plastic is better for the environment. And lots of decorations :D

fake tree cause you rarely get a nice looking real one
and I like it when the fake ones already have the lights on, because then all you need to add is the tinsel and baubles
