Here are My Top 10 Reasons that Fake Trees are Better (In no particular order)

10. There are millions of different shapes and sizes of real trees, which could make selecting the right one take forever

9. money: When you spend 50 dollars a year or more on a tree, the costs add up, but with a fake tree, you spend 60 dollars or so every 5 to 10 years

8. common question "Well now that I bought a tree, how am I going to get it home?"

7. When you finally get your tree home, getting it in the front door without knocking over things is a real challenege.

6. Allergies: many people have allergies to pine needles, unless you want to spend christmas with your nose clogged, fake is the way to go (This may not apply to everyone, but it is a good reason).

5. The dead pine needles from the real tree make the floor dirty

4. Caring for the real tree: with a fake tree you do not have to worry about the needles turning brown and dying if you forget to water it

3. After Christmas Cleanup: it was always funny to watch dad struggle with getting the giant tree in the bag for disposal

2. After Christmas Cleanup Pt 2- Trashmen in many areas have strict rules on disposal of trees and how they need to be bagged and placed

1. With Fake trees you just unhook the segments, place in it the box, and shove it in the attic for another year
