We get a real one. Don't have an artificial one any more.

We make a day of it. Go out to the tree farm, select our tree (try to convince DH not to go to big , the man cuts it down and we bring it home. When Christmas is over, it goes in the goats paddock.
I think DH loves the process of selecting the tree more so than having one. I find decoration can be a bit hard to get on and stay on, but it does smell nice.
