Not only would I be unable to breath for a month - which I've heard is hazardous to your health. But my girls would also be sniffling and sneezing. <br /><br />We tend to avoid visiting friends and relatives who use real trees because of the aforementioned issues. Really is most unpleasant. <br /><br />Instead we have embraced the fake tree and gone with 2 meters tall, plastic and pink :DMaritahttp://leechbabe.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-7647466847691279422010-12-20T20:43:34.053+11:002010-12-20T20:43:34.053+11:00Real trees - ALL the way :)

I love both though, but have a fake tree. Goodness knows how I'd juggle a real one without my husband being home very much. And that pine smell?

It didn't work so well. The year before that, it was a bad native cherry tree that fell apart 2 days in.

I'm happy with my tree that disappears under the bed every January, to reappear in all its glory the following year.
