Do you prefer to use real or fake Christmas trees? What are the pros/cons of each?

Plastic Trees- You don't wake up X-mas morning to find all the needles on the floor around the tree (or everywhere else if you have an excitable dog/cat. Plus I don't usually get around to taking the tree down till my birthday... In March..Real Trees- Well.... They're real, and they smell pleasant (and Christmas-y). Plus you can spend forever cleaning the mess of needles up, if you enjoy that kind of thing...

Fake, I don't have to worry about my pets drinking the water and the tree drying out two weeks before Christmas.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
