To ensure families a cheaper and overall better experience, the acquisition of a fake Christmas tree rather than a real one is a necessity that many families avoid.
Since the introduction of plastic and aluminum fake Christmas trees in the 1950s they immediately rivaled the giant Christmas tree farming industry.
However, many families still hold out on buying a fake Christmas tree.
High quality fake Christmas trees cost close to $1,000 while an eight foot real Christmas trees may cost around $100.
While this may seem as though fake trees are a much worse option, fake trees can save families more money in the long run.
After 10 years of having a superior tree, every year a family saves $100.
Families stick with real Christmas trees because of a multitude of reasons, but the most common are that fake trees do not smell good, do not look as real, and do not offer the same experience.
However, all three of these reasons are untrue or avoidable.
To fix the smell problem families can simply add a fake smell.
While it may not have the same effect on the room as a real tree, it comes close to the experience.
Many real trees have the problem of looking full either entirely or just on one side.
The fake Christmas tree industry completely fixed this problem.
With a high quality fake tree, not only does every side of the tree look full, the tree also looks indistinguishable from a real one.
Finally the experience of putting up ornaments and lights and just having the tree in the room is much better with a fake tree.
Unlike in a real tree where many branches are useless and don’t have the strength to hold up decorations, in a high quality fake tree every single branch is designed to be able to hold any kind of decoration.
With this strength a fake tree can hold many more ornaments and offers a much more complete look.
A fake Christmas tree also avoids many of the problems that a real Christmas tree has.
One of the greatest risks with buying a real tree is the possibility of spending all of the money on the tree and it dies before Christmas.
This not only is a waste of money, but it can ruin a Christmas if the tree dies close enough to December 25.
Another problem that real trees have is their pine needles.
Unlike with a fake tree where, since the needles are plastic, the needles stay on the tree, on a real tree pine needles dropping creates a huge mess.
Finally, a real tree requires the owner of the tree to put water in the base every so often.
This is an inconvenience that one could avoid by buying a fake tree.
