I've had two trees in my whole life, both plastic, at this rate maybe I'll have 3 in my total life. I still don't get why people cut live ones, you hurt the tree, it probably will make a mess while drying, and you'll end up trashing it at the end of the season.

Yes the smell must be nice but there are options now for that scent...

Real Christmas trees smell amazing & are better for the environment so

We used to get a live one with the root ball intact and then planted it in the yard after. So now my dad has a row of pine trees that represent the Christmases we had as kids.
