Obviously having your own live tree in a pot is the most environmentally friendly thing to do, but for people who want a traditional looking tree, artificial Christmas trees look "perfect". I got a flocked tree last year at www.santasquarters.com, and don't think I'd ever get a real one again. There are such a variety of nice different artificial tree styles, it's hard to even choose one. Whereas when I've gone to tree lots I often end up unable to find a tree I like.

I was a bit reluctant to buy a 'fake' tree because I grew up with a real tree in the house each year. However, I spent some time looking at <a href="http://www.greatoccasions.com/" title="artificial trees" rel="nofollow">artificial trees</a> and thought I'd give one a go. After putting it up for the first time, I was amazed how little time it actually took, and it looked just as good as a real one. (better, in some ways, because it didn't lean over or have any 'bald spots') When I moved I was convinced to buy a real tree again, but following my hour-long debacle trying to find one that looked right, and the trouble it took to get the thing home, I vowed to stick with an artificial tree, and I'm very happy that I did.

I was just about to buy an artificial tree in a store when I found a miniature real tree growing in a pot. I live in a small apartment so I wasn't planning to get a big one anyway so I was really taken when I found this small one. I love bonsai trees as well so hopefully when the Christmas period is over I'll be able to keep this tree alive by bringing it outdoors. Another alternative to artificial trees came to me on Sunday.
