TELL US: Do You Have Real or Artificial Christmas Trees?

The Christmas tree dilemma: Purists won't go near fake trees; others can stand the thought of chopping down a tree that will leave needles, sap and leaking water in their living room.

Despite the hassle, real trees outsell their artificial cousins by more than a 3-to-1 margin each season, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. Bear in mind, of course, artificial trees can be reused every year.

Are you undertaking the Griswold family tradition this year, or are will an artificial tree do the trick for your family?
