Have you ever actually had a fake tree? They're really no form of evil. Nope. Never have, never will. I know people who do. What's your point? I know they're not evil, but unless you spend big bucks on a fake one, you can tell they're fake. Even if it doesn't look fake, if you see a tree and don't smell the pine scent (which I like) you can tell it's a fake. Why does it matter if you know it's fake? And furthermore, thats a flat out lie that you have to spend big bucks on a tree for it to look real. Ours wasn't much over a hundred dollars. We've had it for about 7 or 8 years now. Real tree's cost 25 dollars at the Lions Club in town. So thus far we have saved 75-100 dollars. Also, My granparents have a real tree and I cant smell it unless I walk up and put my nose right to it, so whats the point?
