We’ve managed to be away every Christmas for years so haven’t made a Christmas tree purchasing decision since before moving to our new house and now I’m at a loss. List of situations specific points for each below but wwyd in my position
Real:
-I like them better
-Cheaper as a one off purchase (£60 delivered, can’t pick one up ourselves this year and generally don’t want to ever)
-Difficult to dispose of as council won’t take them and can’t take it to wherever it is you take old Christmas trees ourselves so will have to saw it up and put it in bin.
Fake:
- more expensive but saves money in the long run
- difficult to store, we don’t have any spare storage space really but will squeeze it in somewhere
- it’s likely that we may not ever use it again (we are away for Christmas very often and may move abroad in the next decade anyway)
I’m tempted to get a real one purely because it’s nicer but I’m not sure it’s worth the agro.
