Default whats up with the tree?

How many of you go for a traditional looking tree? We tried something different this year and I am not sure if its funky or just full of funk. It looks a little weird.

Why? Is it the shape or the decorations on the tree? We just buy a tree that we all like and pretty much decorate it the same each year. I wish I could see a picture of your tree.

I go for the tradition. But that's just me. A lot of people love the strange color trees and odd decorations, but it just doesn't "feel" right to me. So I stick with the traditional.

I want a real pine next year, the ones we found this year were all very short needle and looked a little odd. We tried to get the best one we found but its still not "perfect".

We just got our tree and its perfect - just perfect. My hubby actually picked it out and he keeps saying how perfect it is. It really is nice. It's not decorated yet!

We bought a fibre optic tree a few years ago and we've used it every year since. It's small, pretty and doesn't need any other ornamentation!

I have an artificial tree, that looks pretty darn real. I like a classic tree, and would love to get a real one some day. But with young kids, and my allergies, it may be a while.

We went for a real tree this year after many years using artificial and I think we may regret it. It's already shedding it's needles and I remember now why we decided to do artificial!

I like my artificial tree but it has to be a traditional looking one. It is a slim one and I use a lot of primitive decorations on it to go with my house decor.

What type of tree did you get? To be honest, I like the all red trees they sell. I saw some in the store and thought they were pretty.
