Real tree or artificial what’s your christmas go‑to

[Ironwander]

You find yourself gazing at that empty corner in the living room, weighing the decision of whether to bring in a real tree this year or just dig out the artificial one from the attic. You've experienced both options over the years, and each has its unique appeal… along with its own set of challenges. So, what’s it going to be this time? Fresh pine or the reliable reusable option? Share your choice and what makes it work for you!

I do love how a real tree looks and smells, but I'll never forget the year mine dried out so fast it looked sad by Christmas Eve. Since then, the fake one has been my go-to. It's not quite as magical, but it's way less stressful during a busy December.

I've changed my mind a bunch over the years. But this time, I think I'll go with a fake one just 'cause it's simpler. Plus, I won't have to sweep up needles all the time.
