Pros and cons to real and artificial Christmas trees
We all enjoy having a Christmas tree in our homes over the Christmas period and each household wants their christmas tree to look well and festive. What better way to do this than decorating the tree with personalised christmas decorations and personalised christmas ornaments. For most people, the decorated christmas tree is central to the activities on Christmas Day. However, each year many of us have to make the decision whether to have a real tree or to go for an artificial option. Here are some positives and negatives to each option to help you make up your mind this year.
Real trees:
Real trees seem to smell festive. They have a wonderful pine fragrance that makes the home smell of Christmas. It is also lovely to have something that is living in the home and it makes decorating the tree with ornaments even more exciting.
Real trees are more environmentally friendly. Properly sustainable Christmas tree forests can help provide oxygen and habitats for birds and animals.
Real trees have lots of room to decorate with so if you have lots of personalised christmas ornaments you will have plenty of room to decorate the tree.
But...they drop needle everywhere and require constant watering to stop them drying out.
Artificial trees:
Plastic trees are more expensive initially but will last for many years, so can save money in the long run. They are also less commitment than a real tree as they need no watering or maintaining apart from being stored correctly.
But...they take up valuable storage space and they do not look (or smell) as good as the real thing.
Plastic trees can be packed away with the christmas ornaments and christmas decorations left carefully on the tree so you do not have to decorate the tree from scratch each christmas. This said however, most people like to undress the tree by removing the christmas ornaments and christmas decorations and wrap and pack them away neatly so that the sentiments of personalised christmas ornaments will last year after year.
