I've thought about doing an artificial tree, but I really love the fresh pine scent and would miss that. On the other hand, it's an expensive mess and hassle to get a real tree, plus I feel just a bit guilty about having a live tree that was chopped down. (I know they're farmed for the purpose, but still.)
Maybe if I did an artificial tree but put up a few real wreaths, I could survive. Hmmm.
