Before you jump right into decorating the Christmas tree and putting up the ornaments, you would need to find out what type of tree is for you. Some people are looking for living tree that could bring the nature into the house and also the fragrant smell of a real tree. Some people will be looking for artificial tree for easy maintenance and cost-saving concern as artificial tree can be reused year after year. Tabletop Christmas tree will be another option for some people because this will be a great space-saving idea and it doesn’t take up a single square inch of the floor space of your house. Regardless of what type of Christmas tree you are going with, they will for sure bring a lot of joy and glamour in this festive season.

Keep the temperature in the room as cool as possible and keep the tree away from any heat source like a fireplace so that the tree can last longer and feel fresher. A huge part of a real Christmas tree experience boils down to its smell. The smell of a living pine or spruce tree is always inviting and calming. Choosing a living tree over a faux tree helps reduce carbon footprint and is an ecological concern to some people most of the time. The perfect end of a real Christmas tree would be turned back into soil and decomposed to feed the living creatures.

Disposing a living tree can be troublesome and buying a new one next year can hurt your wallet. A faux tree doesn’t require water and is easy to maintain where it doesn’t go out of shape and always conform to the original shape. Make your holiday a lasting memory with an “evergreen” faux tree that becomes the centerpiece of your celebrations. Another advantage of using a faux tree is that you can easily find one that is of generous full branches.
