Summary
Real or faux ~ which way to go? Today we not so much debate, but clarify the facts surrounding the real vs faux Christmas tree controversy.
The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of holiday decor.
Traditions and memories are made under, around & about this holiday focal point.
People are often staunch in their opinions of real or faux, but are all the facts clear...?
Today we discuss the virtues and drawback of either choice, ring in on our thoughts & give you a few options in both catagories.
