Artificial Christmas Trees Versus Real Christmas Trees
The Christmas tree is a decorated artificial or living tree, a popular tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas. Normally an evergreen coniferous tree that is brought into a home or used in the open, a Christmas tree is decorated with Christmas lights and colourful ornaments during the days around Christmas.
The excitement of Christmas takes off on a whole new level when it's time to set up the Christmas tree. But before you set it up, you have to pick whether or not you're planning to have an artificial Christmas tree
or a real one.

Artificial Christmas Tree
You don't have to decide if it's fresh enough so that you don't have to trim some of it off the bottom in order for the tree to have a longer, fresher life. You don't have to fret about fastening the stand screws tightly against the bark so the tree won't tip. By using an artificial tree, you can just drop the base securely into the stand.
Purchasing an artificial tree means you won't have to wonder if you brought any pests inside your home that can damage your houseplants. Plus, there's not the allergy factor with artificial trees like there can be with real ones.
Unlike real Christmas trees, you can buy artificial ones during the year and you won't have to wait until the last minute to bring it home. You can get a jump on getting your Christmas items in place so that when the holidays arrive, you're not out in the frantic shopping pace. With the ease of availability, you can buy more than one for different rooms in your house. You can get one for your children to decorate.
Natural Christmas Tree
The branches are easier to decorate than the sometimes thicker branches of artificial trees. Since the branches are attached to the tree, you won't have the frustration of trying to match color coded branches to little slots.
Real Christmas trees are easier to take down and get out of your home. When the season is over, you can bag your real Christmas tree and many cities have a recycling program where used Christmas trees are turned into mulch, thus helping the environment.

Jan C. Lee says:
also want to say, I like an artificial tree,even tho I don't own one. I would want an artificial to save the environment. I think too many trees are being cut down and we: California is becoming a desert from lack of trees. Between the forest fires and people cut trees down, we won't get the greenhouse effect.

artificial are better and are saving our forest from being cut down. We are saving the planet if we keep all the trees growing and keep planting more trees everywhere. And stop the people from cutting down all the trees to put up shopping malls.

Christmas Tree
The custom of erecting a Christmas tree can be traced to 16th century Germany, though neither an inventor nor a single town can be identified as the sole origin for the tradition. The earliest that a pine tree was ever used and decorated for Christmas was in 1521 in Germany (in the region of Alsace). From this singular point in time, we see the rapid spread of this tradition throughout Germany and eventually the world. "It was not until the beginning of the nineteenth century, however, that it spread rapidly and grew into a general German custom, which was soon accepted also by the Slavic people of Eastern Europe. In the Cathedral of Strasbourg in 1539, the church record mentions the erection of a Christmas tree. In that period, the guilds started erecting Christmas trees in front of their guildhalls: Ingeborg Weber-Kellermann (Marburg professor of European ethnology) found a Bremen guild chronicle of 1570 which reports how a small fir was decorated with apples, nuts, dates, pretzels and paper flowers, and erected in the guild-house, for the benefit of the guild members' children, who collected the dainties on Christmas Day. Another early reference is from Basel, where the tailor apprentices carried around town a tree decorated with apples and cheese in 1597.
In some accounts, Martin Luther is credited with adding lights and decoration to fir branches traditionally hung from ceilings.
