to me there is nothing better than coming into a house and smelling real pine. If I could have a real pine tree that smelled like real pine in my house all year long, I would.
plz note that the tree is at a subpar living once its chopped up for your house. There is nothing wrong with having a real xmas tree but its a huge fucking mess to clean afterwards. I vote get a couple wreaths or branches for the smell and get a nice fake one. Actually my real vote is fuck it completely O.o
Although the fake works nicely as a Festivus pole without the branches.
I love real tree smell but holy shit I'm tired of vacuuming needles every fucking day. So just think "at least I'm not getting pine needles lodged in my socks".
my parents get a live tree in a bulb and then replant it after christmas. they've been doing it for 23 years now. The tree from the year we moved into the house is probably 30 feet tall now.
