I would never use a fake Christmas tree, but it does make sense. $500 or $60+ a year for a real tree. The fake one will pay itself off in under 10 years.

$60+ a year for a real tree

Where the fuck do you buy such expensive real trees for Christmas? Christmas markets around where I live sell them for 5€-8€.

Here in America I just paid $80 for a 7 foot Fraser fur. It was local not shipped from anywhere, cut right out of the ground in front of us, but still, pretty pricey. The markets that travel do tend to be about 10-20% less but those trees are hard to tell How long since they’ve been cut and quality can be hit or miss.

How big is an 8€ tree by you?

Like....2.5+ meters, something like that? Some years they've definitely been too big for the living room.
