If you found your way here, you may be asking yourself, “Why would anyone want an artificial Christmas Tree?” Artisan Christmas trees, as they are known to their fans, give their owners many advantages over live Christmas trees.
Artificial Trees Are Economical
Who isn’t trying to save money these days? The Christmas season places an economic burden on most families, and one of the ways to save $100 or more each season is with an artificial Christmas tree. If you’re old enough to remember the mid-century artificial trees, we’re willing to bet that we can fool you today. You probably won’t know the difference until you actually touch the branches. For a one-time investment, you can enjoy a lifetime of Christmas seasons and simply change the look of the tree on a whim with your decorations.
Live Trees are a Fire Hazard
Unless you’re diligent about watering a tree at regular intervals and locating it away from heat sources, you run the risk of fire with a live tree. With an artificial tree, you’re still running live electricity to the lights, but you have removed 2/ 3 of the problems that plague live-tree owners. And who wants to spend their Christmas season climbing under the tree on a daily basis to water it?
Artificial Trees Carry No Bugs or Disease
Imagine this scene: You return home with your live Christmas tree only to spot bugs on it. Nothing will destroy your memories of a live Christmas tree quicker than that situation. You’ve already spent your money on a tree, dragged it home, dropped needles on the way to its home, and now you spot a few creepy crawlers. What do you do now?
Do You Have Allergies?
Some people are allergic to plant life, including trees. If you’re one of those people, you sure don’t want to add to your stress-level during the holidays doing battle with allergies. The holidays are stressful enough without topping it off with allergies.
Live Trees Are Messy
Forget the romantic notion of taking a day trip to the countryside and cutting down a fresh Christmas tree. Have you ever actually done that? But if you’re new to artisan trees, you have hauled a live tree home, and you know that’s no fun. Once you get the tree situated and decorated, you have to clean up the mess—the falling needles and the dripping sap. And, every day or so, you have to
vacuum to pick up fresh deposits of needles.
The very best thing about an artificial Christmas tree is the end of the season. There’s no cleanup. You simply remove the rnaments and lights and disassemble the Christmas tree. There are no disposal worries.
In Summary
By now you may be wondering, “Why on earth would anyone have anything other than an artificial Christmas tree?” Well, exactly!
