If you're part of the debate of a real or artificial Christmas tree (due to environmental reasons), here's a tidbit of info for those of you still on the fence:
A real tree can be an environmental choice this Christmas. For every tree harvested at a tree farm, another 10 are planted to ensure a crop every year; and one acre of Christmas trees on a farm will produce enough oxygen to support about 18 people and remove up to 13 tonnes of airborne pollutants per year. Although Christmas trees have been a problem for landfills in the past, many municipalities now chip them for mulching material. If your town doesn't recycle, use the branches and needles for mulch in your garden.

Oprah's show the other day was about being "Green" and they had holiday tips for being nicer to the environment - one of them was to get a REAL tree :) I just love real Christmas trees.
We also love a Real tree although we do have a fake one :-)
I get a real tree every year because I just love the smell and it reminds me of Christmas when I was a child.
