BLOGMAS 2016 - Day 10 { Real Tree or Artificial Tree }

Hello friends and welcome to Blogmas day 10.  Today it's all about the real trees versus the artificial trees, and I know there are people on both sides with very strong opinions.

I have to speak for myself, and for us, it has to be a real tree.  It's just a tradition that I've had going since I was a little girl, and though we had artificial trees for a few years, we went right back to our real trees.  I guess for us, Christmas isn't Christmas without the real thing in the house, mostly because of the scent it allows to permeate through the whole house.

Let me show you some of my trees over the years.
