Poll: Do you have a real or artificial Christmas tree?

Every year my family and I drive out to Ann Arbor to cut down our own Christmas tree. It's always a fun day to spend together and get into the holiday spirit. Although artificial trees seem to becoming more and more popular, we stick with buying a real Christmas tree because it's a family tradition.

But it doesn't come without its headaches! The tree has already fallen over once, spilling water and dozens of needles all over the living room floor. When this happens, I wonder if buying an artificial tree is the way to go.

So I want to know — what type of tree to do you get for Christmas? Real or artificial? Vote in the poll below and share your thoughts in the comments.
