We have always had an artificial. I tried one year with a real one, but it made me a nervous wreck the whole time..so never again.

I lost a friend in a fire at Christmas. They had a real tree and she lived in a mobile home. It took less than 6.5 minutes for the home to become fully engulfed. No one made it out. I love my son and life too much to take the chance! Not worth it to me to have a real tree!!
