One of my friends has been keeping her vacuum cleaner next to the tree and turning it on periodically so her kitties think it is "alive" --she said it's worked pretty well to guard the tree!

I have a small 3 foot artificial tree that came pre-lit. Though I've had it for 5 years, so we'll see if any of the lights still work when I put it up.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

We have used artificial trees for years. I can't remember the last time we used a live tree in our house.
One thing is having cats in the house. Our first cat loved it when we put up the tree and she would lay under it all the time it was up and then she was upset when we took it down.

We have never ever had a real tree. Maybe one day....
But we are very happy with the artificial trees we have had :).

Real. I live in the Apps. of North Carolina, so it's easy to get a cheap real one around here.

My family has always had a real tree. Besides that one year we both had a fake and a real. I do remember one year we had 4 little kitten but my mom tie the tree to the wall so the kittens climped up in the tree it was so cute.

We used to have a real tree for many years. Then someone gave us a fake one for free so we have used that for the past 3 or 4 years.

We've been using the same fake tree for about... uh... 15ish years at my house. It has lost most of its plastic needles and you can see straight to the plastic green trunk. xD Mom promises that this year she'll go out on the 26th and buy a new one on sale.
...but frankly, I really like that old thing. It smells like... Christmas and home and, well, mustiness, but still. xD

When we use a tree, we typically use fake. The real ones always left behind some very prickly remains from their branches, and they'd sting like crazy. >_< The ones that didn't do that were more expensive, and we couldn't afford them.

I do enjoy the scent real trees give, though. :)

The tree is indeed a Douglass fir. I know it's weird...but I always name my trees. Last year I had a Fraser Fir named Margaret and before that another Fraser I called Arthur. :-^o^-:

Neane, I obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You...You're lying!
