We had converted to..

fake trees when I was growing up, so always had one in my adult house.. wife was always wanting a flocked real tree, tho, so she went and got one a few years ago.. we've had the carpet replaced since then and I swear we still find little bits of flocked tree here and there - 15 years later.. So, pretty much back to the fake trees, although I have an 8 foot tall palm tree in the living room that serves as the "main" tree..
