The holidays will be coming our way in no time. While planning meals and preparing family schedules, you also might be wondering when it’s time to get your christmas tree. Maybe this year you’re wondering if you should finally choose an artificial Christmas tree. Many of us might consider artificial trees as eco-friendly, less messy and easier to set up than real christmas trees but there are even more benefits to consider.
Here Are a Few Things to Consider about Real Christmas Trees:
They help to support farmers: When you’re buying a live tree, you can help support your local tree farmers and keep them employed.
They are eco friendly: Many people might think they are not helping the environment by chopping down a real tree. What they don’t consider, is that during this trees lifespan, it actually helped produce oxygen for approximately 7 years. New trees will then be planted from their seedlings in its place.
The christmas tree hunt: Let’s not forget the fun of looking for the perfect tree. Getting outside with the family to have an adventure on a tree farm is not just about getting a tree, but it’s about making holiday memories that can last a lifetime.
Here Are Some Benefits of Buying Artificial Christmas Trees:
They are easy to maintain and setup: With almost no setup required, an artificial Christmas tree can be put together in less than 5 minutes. They come in about 2-4 sections which makes for easy assembly.
If you opt for a prelit tree, than it makes the whole process even easier. Your lights are ready to shine with one simple on button. They are also easy to disassemble and be stored away until next year.
You don’t need to water an artificial Christmas tree daily unlike a live tree. This can help save on water and the hassle of trying to get under all those branches without spilling anything.
They are less expensive: Typically, a farmed tree can cost anywhere from $30 – $100+ depending on the size of it. When you consider you’ll be buying a real tree every year, these costs can add up. If you decide to go for an artificial tree, you will be saving year after year and your initial investment will be worth it.
They are less messy: Pine needles from real christmas trees can end up everywhere. This can contribute to hours of sweeping and vacuuming. With an artificial tree, you won’t have this issue.
