Artificial all the way. We got a new one some years ago and it's much bigger than our old one - you assemble it colour-coded with hooks.

I too go for the Artificial tree. -{ in fact I'm also far more sentimental
About it than my wife, a few years ago she made me throw out our
Old one. To get a nice new one.
When she asked why I didn't want to get rid of the old one, I told her.
It's the first one we bought as a couple.
It's the first one our kids played under
It's the last one we shared with my late Mother. ....
...................... and she STILL made me throw it out.
When it comes down to me being on a life support machine, I'm hoping
She doesn't get to make the decision about switching it off, as I'm toast ! )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
For me it has always been real Christmas trees. As far back as I can remember we found a tree on my father's farm and cut it. It was ridiculously Christmas card-like

** In 1934, after medical school in Bonn and Berlin , Ruff was hired by the German Experimental Institute for Aviation (DVL).
** In '38 joined Ruff into the Nazi party NSDAP.
** Under the judicial process against Nazi doctors at Nuremberg , Ruff acknowledged that he contributed to experiments on prisoners in the concentration camp Dachau in '42.
** About 80 people were killed in Ruffs experiments in Dachau.
** One of the experiments was that a man was lowered into a tub of ice-cold water, wearing full uniform and equipment. After 30 mins the body temperature dropped to 29.5 degrees. Other prisoners were forced to remain naked outdoors for 9 to 14 hours.

"Was told about nazi doctor after 36 years
But that was not the only startling information that the three were involved in the trials have been told decades later.
When VG in 2008 revealed that the department's leader Siegfried Ruff (who was the director of the tests the Norwegian navy divers did in '72) had conducted human experiments on prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp during WW2 , the 3 Norwegians reacted in disbelief and shock.
Ruffs dark past had been totally unknown to them for 36 years, and created a huge discomfort for those who had seen and experienced his extreme tests on the body.
Hurt for life
He is still seriously wounded in the right leg (referring to one of the divers) and have to go to a physiotherapist several times a week. Eid suffered fainting spells and headaches for ten years after the trials. The dream of a career in the North Sea was never realized due to the extreme tests.
The divers were used as guinea pigs in high risk dives with a lower security scheme than under pure routine dive in the navy. I was highly critical of what Eid and Ludvigsen had been subjected to , he tells the magazine"
Living in the UK, you sometimes take for granted your rights.and forget
That for many these basic " Rights" were hard fought for. It does seem
Truly amazing why any government should have any input into what
Two people who love each other should do, or be allowed to do.
I hope given the support in Ireland for gay marriage, it will be passed
By their government. -{

I don't see why any government should be interested in what two consenting adults do in bed.
