Super-easy here Mike Kelly.  Man-made (2) trees with no flocking.  When I was a kiddo, it was a natural tree bought off of a lot though! 

You are lucky!!! My wife keeps me out there for 2 hours! She's a keeper though; we always bring home an amazing tree...last years touched the top of our cathedral ceiling. I'd never go artifical or Home Depot. 

we buy a live tree at a nursery with a root ball and we plant it after Christmas.  Sometimes we've gotten permission to plant in a park in our community, sometmes we've planted in a neighbor's yard (of course with permission) a couple at my office and a couple in our yard.  We've had this tradition for about 15 years.

A real tree harvested from natures surplus.

A flock of what?

I"ve had a huge fancy artificial tree for last few years. But now i'm not sure I want to go through that decoration again. I will probably buy a few large poinsettia pots and hang decorations here and there. 

     When we did Christmas trees, I always went out in the woods somewhere and chopped one down.  They weren't blue spruce or Douglas fir; they were wild Florida cedar trees or pines, but we decorated them nicely.

I go for the ease of it and actually keep a decorated tree from year to year on a rollaway platform and can bring it out and fluff it, plug it in and am ready to go in about 15 minutes. I have some scented candles that smell like balsam. It works for me.

I have an artificial tree - it's simple, easy up/easy down... 

Love natural trees, and our cat will not allow a tree unless he gets to climb it and bat all the ornaments.  A

I had the nicest gentleman help me get a nice tree locally each year, bring it home and set it up. He is no longer living in Charlotte during the holidays so, I purchased a man-made one so I can do it myself!  

Artificial trees are great...

We have not chopped down a tree in 14 years...it's manmade and paid for many time over. Lightly flocked.

I have a retro metal tree with pink ornaments.

I met you half way - Fake tree but real lights.

Natural! We always cut down our own tree back in New England for years, but not out here in CA - it's off the lot after the first year we move here. Not a fan of flocking

We have not used a real tree in many years.

Artificial tree, if any at all.  I'm allergic to the actual trees.

Worst christmas for me was the couple years I worked at 21st century auto insurance.  They decorated every floor with a couple fresh cut trees.  By the end I was on three times the daily dosage of sudafed.

Real tree, usually from Lowe's off the lot. -Kasey

I do the man-made. It's easier and cleaner to deal with .

I love the scent of pine during this season.

So, something from the farm does come home with me. It is seldom a large tree but always several undecorated large wreaths.

From the Boy Scouts of America, post 2651 I will purchase a 4 ft tree.

We venture outdoors and chop it down.  I remember a recent year we went to a lot because time for an event was scarce.  MY daughters were mortified.  Just wait until we "go artificial" kiddos!!!  lol

I've used artificial trees for close to 30 years. No flocking.

We usually go to a local tree farm. We use to cut our own, but last few years they had some already fresh cut ones, so we got one of those.

My husband and I are the fastest Christmas tree shoppers anywhere (we think). We get a real tree, pre-cut at a tree stand. We are usually in and out of there in 5 minutes. No flocking.

I don't do a tree.  But, I did write these 2 articles to help people out.

The 5 most affordable flocked trees

CENSORED

We use both

Artificial.

Natural, and we usually go to a nearby farm.

I've done all of the above.  These days I do none of the above.  

We do both, but only the fake stuff in Miami and small, apartment size. Large and fresh in CT.

Mike Kelly We went with an artifical tree several years ago.

I buy a real tree from a NH grower who sets up a local lot

Since we moved to Tennessee, there is a X-Mas tree farm about 2 miles from our rural home. When we got there and asked for the prices, he said all trees were $25 no matter what size. We have never seen trees this full and beautiful so we narrowed it down to about 20 trees. With our saw in hand we finally decided on one. We put lights on it and ornaments on it and a tree skirt about it

Natural tree, no flock purchased at Menard's in Chicago.

I use a man made tree now. no flocking.  I remember as a kid we always got a real tree.. Scotch Pine... and it alwasy smelled so good..  The mand made ones have come a long way and look so authentic, if you get a good one.

I have an artificial tree...just bought a new one from Pier One... white shimmering prelit.... 

Door #2

a 18 inch and a 2 ft inch trees. Downsized over the years.

Last year I gave our man-made tree to one of the condominium. 

Will decorate office and put some branches from real tree.

This year we got a man - made tree again. 

I have two kitties that like to climb, no young kiddos, so have not had a tree for a while.

Man made since grandkids are 2000 miles away

Xmas tree - we don't do one so I can stop there LOL
