This year we bought a real one, but we’ve used artificial before. I’m pretty neutral on the whole thing; love real trees, but artificial trees at least don’t kill real trees (unless you count the likely toxic manufacturing process)
The real trees are purpose-grown and biodegradable, like carving pumpkins or floral bouquets. Killing a plant for ceremony and decoration feels way less wasteful to me than making more permanent garbage.

Ah, yes, that makes sense to me!
