WT Wizard,
Natural trees are popular. They offer real scents, and they do not have to be stored. And they can be chipped for mulch. However, you do have bugs that could come out in the warmth of the living room. They also need water. They keep for 4 weeks or so before losing too many needles. They are messy. With C7 and larger bulbs, they can be a fire hazard
This is so true. My oldest daughter has LYme's Disease. Her Doctor siad she probably got it from a tick that came out of the Christmas tree. We never knew they could do that.
