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

I have a fake one, mainly because we couldn't get a real one without driving an hour but also because last year our tree had a bit of a spider infestation and I'm still fighting off spider nightmares

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?

@zonavar68 who said there was anything wrong with those? I couldn't care less if someone stuck a twig in their living room and called it a Christmas tree. Why are you looking for some kind of confrontation 😂

@WithinYou Only a confrontation if you believe that's the intention, which it's not. Just trying to work out why the projected idea is that a pine tree is a christmas tree and anything else is not.
