Right now, no tree (having two young cats who are about 1.5 years old ... just not a good mix .. maybe when they grow up a bit). But when I do have a tree, I prefer artificial and re-use the same tree until it looks too sad or something breaks.
My mini wall tree, with a couple of my favorite ornaments and battery operated lights.
I don't believe in chopping down a living tree to sit in my living room for a couple weeks. We started to put up our artificial tree and Austin started chewing on the needles. After some research what could happen if he eats said needles, we took the tree to the dump and got rid of it. It was not a great tree to begin with and we haven't been putting it up for a few years. I can live without a tree, Christmas isn't what it used to be for me (us) anyway, so I don't miss it. Just trying to get through the season and get on to 2022.
I love the smell of a real one. Because of my brother's allergies we've had to use a fake one for the last few years. But this year, since the whole downstairs floor us getting renovated, I got a small real tree, and he's beautiful!
We always get a real tree at Christmas, but are considering in getting an artificial one for next year for financial purposes.
