Always an artificial tree indoors, never want a real one indoors, as I think it is a waste killing a tree to bring it indoors, would rather look at the real trees still alive and planted somewhere. Thats why I have one planted and living in my back garden.
Hate seeing them all brown and dead in the cordened off collection areas just after christmas!

Agree with all that, we bought an ASDA one, in a pot about 5 years ago, thought it had died off but it started pushing out new buds and is still going strong.
Thats the outside lights one now.

We have a real tree, as big as possible. Normally we buy it, get home and then realise how huge it is! I get stressed standing it up and then Sarah decorates it! We'll do our once she finishes for maternity leave, most likely the weekend after next.

We always used to have a real one at home, my mum works at a school and we live just down the road so when the school breaks up for xmas holidays me or my dad used to drag the tree they had in their assembly hall down the road and try and squeeze it in the front door, Normanlly ended up cutting 2-3 foot off before it would stand in the lounge! lol Used to get some funny looks dragging a 9-10 ft tree down the road

That's cheating!!!
You're suppose to fall off a ladder when you put the lights up, it's tradition!

I have an artificial 6 ft green Christmas tree, it just glows with white fibre optic bits, alot less hassle! Lol
We had real Christmas tree's when we were kids, love the smell, but remember Mum always with the hoover out mopping up the needles!!
It is always traditional guys that there is always one bulb that blows every year on one set of your lights, it is normally the awkward ones that you put up!!
