Is your Christmas tree a fake or a real? [I Like To Look At My Christmas Tree Lights]

Its a real artificial tree....

I'd like to plant one outdoors to use as a living Christmas tree. I'd usually have an artificial one.

I've had my 3 y/o daughter for 2 days. Ex just picked her up, and chose to blast me in front of her because I said I don't believe in Christmas trees and won't be getting one when my ex asked if we went and bought one. She then proceeded to say my daughter is deeply into Santa (which means my ex has conditioned her to believe in Santa). I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to do Christmas without a tree. I have a real Australian Christmas Tree - a Persoonia Pinifolia - though it's only about 40 cm tall (picked it up from native plant nursery yesterday) but will be a garden feature plant so next year if I still live here it will be really good.

So then, what *is* a 'real' Christmas Tree (tm) then? Australia has long followed the northern hemisphere myth of pine trees representing what a 'true' christmas tree should look like (even the fake plastic ones), but who cares. If you have a suitable plant and choose to cover it in lights and decorations what's wrong with that? If you choose to not have any decorations at all, what's wrong with that?

As a kid growing up, we always had real trees, but we could literally go in our back yard to find one LOL

No tree here - it's a pagan symbol.

Real. Ive always liked the smell

Fake but it looks real

I have a fake tree.

A tiny fake one

A real one :-)

Fake.

Could it possibly matter?

We don’t have a tree 🥺
