My family is the only one I know that still uses real pine trees. None of my friends and other relatives have real trees...it's kinda sad - I love the smell of pine needles.
We can usually make them last a couple of months actually - we just take off the decorations and it's like having a tree growing through the floor in our living room! Then when the tree dies we chop it up, let it weather and use it for firewood.

No one here uses pines, we all uses spruce and most still use candles on the tree Christmas Eve. :kiss:

I somewhere read that in fact the most commonly sold and bought Christmas trees are in fact fir or spruce, but that people mistake them for pines.

I love the smell of evergreen trees too. We stopped buying real trees a long time ago as I insisted it was a waste if they died and we didn't really have any place to plant them in our garden any more, neither do we have a use for firewood. An artificial tree is reusable and therefore cheaper too, but it would be great if they came with real pine smell. haha :woohoo:
