Treez.

[digitaldiscipline]

As someone who spent a couple collegiate summers wielding a machete to make the real trees look like the fake ones....

NEVER. NOT IN MY HOUSE AS LONG AS I DRAW BREATH.

*ahem*

I have a small, tinsel-and-wire tree that netgoth gave me; aishlynn is hell-bent on getting a silver (aluminum, I think) tree from her parents that was her childhood one. My folks had the same plastic tree for twenty years squirreled away in the attic.
