The fake tree is misunderstood and under-appreciated.
I happen to love a good fake Christmas tree.

I was raised with a fake tree. A totally chessy, plastic…totally FAKE looking SEARS Christmas tree.
My mother even put a pine tree scented mini-wax tree inside of it to help give it that real flair…it didn’t work.

She always told me we had a fake tree because of my dad and my allergies.
The thing is…I never wanted a real one….I was fine with the fakeness…
There is something about knowing this same tree shares your memories from year to year…but there is more…so much more:

1) Technology…these days- you almost can’t tell a real from a fake tree- they really have spent lots of money to make them more realistic.

2) The mess- there is virtually NONE with a fake tree

3) Pre-strung lights- best invention ever!!

4) No watering!

5) No worries of it drying out or totally dying!

6) No need for the tacky tree tents to pop up all over my neighborhood!!

7) It has to be really bad for the environment to cut down all those trees!!!

I’m sure there are more reasons- but those are mine…please let me know if you have any that I didn’t think of!!!
