Real vs. Fake

With Christmas just around the corner, families have begun putting up the lights, decorations, and trees.  But which is better-a real Christmas tree or a fake?
    Appearance is a major concern when buying Christmas trees.  Real Christmas trees may be irregular in shape, but are always fresh and healthy-the way nature intended.  Fake trees are perfect in size and shape, cut identically in a factory.  Real trees do pose a fire danger, however, so a fake tree may be a safe alternative for your family. 
    The deciding factor in choosing between a real or fake Christmas tree is the price.  Fake trees range from 200$-600$ and last a few years before they need to be replaced.  Real trees can range from 25$-100$.  Artificial trees can be bought online and real trees can be bought at local grocery stores.

This is interesting. Deciding to choose a Real or Fake. The pros and cons of both cancel each other out. I never brought a real tree for Christmas so I think I would choose the real tree. Also because I think the real tree looks better but the safety hazards would cancel out that pro. *Charisse*
