The Advantages of an Artificial Christmas Tree
Unlike a fresh tree, an artificial Christmas tree is perfectly symmetrical, and this is an important point for some decorators.
An artificial Christmas tree lasts for many years and may simply be stored away out of season, in a relatively small space. Most come in sections, easily and quickly fitted together when you’re ready to decorate.
To make up for the lack of that fresh tree fragrance, try using bowls of potpourri in strategic locations. You can even purchase spray scents that simulate fresh pine. A simmering pot of apple cider on the stove with cloves and sticks of cinnamon creates a heavenly fragrance all around the house.
If you’ve got your heart set on genuine fresh pine scent, gather or purchase pine branches to make into a garland for the fireplace or stair railing.
Probably one of the strongest points for an artificial tree is cleanup after New Year’s. After becoming entangled in lights, pierced by dry needles and decked with sap in your hair, you may go for the artificial Christmas tree next year!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
