Do you use a real or fake Christmas tree?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on November 21, 2006
“I use a fake one because it's fiber-optic and we love the changing colors. I do put in some natural elements like branches and dried sumac and flowers.”
— Lori TenPas, translator, Lawrence
“I don't use a Christmas tree anymore. I live alone and go to visit family. It becomes too much of a hassle to buy and decorate it. It's easier to go and look at someone else's tree.”
— Bob Parker, attorney, Westminster, Md.
“A fake one, because there are no splintering needles to vacuum up. It's snow-covered and silvery blue. It's very unique.”
— Delisa Drewes, consultant, Lawrence
“We'll probably be using a fake one. I'd rather not cut down any more trees than need to be cut.”
