5 Reasons Why Artificial Christmas Trees Are Better Than Real Christmas Trees

Friday, March 12th, 2010 | Shopping

There’s a scene in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, in which Clark Griswold hears a noise coming from the family’s Christmas tree; the Griswolds prefer real Christmas trees over artificial Christmas trees. Clark leans in, parts the branches and spies a squirrel, which then leaps out of the tree at him. The squirrel terrorizes the family as it runs through the house – with a snarling Rottweiler in pursuit – before escaping through the front door and lunging at the neighbor who has come to visit. Their real Christmas tree came with a critter. Need another reason to choose artificial Christmas trees from ChristmasTreeMarket.com over real Christmas trees? Here are four more:

1. Artificial Christmas trees are hassle-free. – With real Christmas trees, you have to search for the right one at the neighborhood lot, then somehow get it home. Then comes the trimming of the trunk so that it will fit in the stand. Lights have to be untangled next, before the fun of decorating can begin. Once the new year rolls around, you must wait until the pickup day for real Christmas trees to dispose of it.

ChristmasTreeMarket.com ships its classic artificial Christmas trees and artificial white Christmas trees directly to a customers’ doors. They come with hinged branches that make for easy set up. You also can purchase artificial Christmas trees that are pre-lit, with clear or multi-colored bulbs. After the holidays, they collapse for easy and compact storage.

2. Artificial Christmas trees are not a fire hazard. – Real Christmas trees are dying from the moment they are cut down, which means they require water to keep their needles from drying out. If real Christmas trees do dry out, they can be a fire hazard.

Artificial Christmas trees are just that, artificial. They do not require water. Their needles do not dry out, therefore there is no fire hazard. There is also no cleanup of needles after set up and take down. Artificial Christmas trees can be displayed for longer periods of time, looking fresh from the beginning of the holiday season to the end.

3. Artificial Christmas trees save you money, over time. – Real Christmas trees can run into the hundreds and are an annual expense, as are the lights that don’t seem to last more than one season.

Artificial Christmas trees can be used year after year. Again, they can come pre-lit, which increases the annual savings. Now is the perfect time to buy artificial Christmas trees and artificial white Christmas trees from ChristmasTreeMarket, with savings up to 70 percent and free shipping.

4. Artificial Christmas trees don’t have a bad side. – While some may consider finding perfect real Christmas trees to be a tradition, others would rather spend less time hunting and more time decorating.
