Christmas is a season of goodwill, a time for giving and showing gratitude for everything you have and one of the main symbols of Christmas is the tree. Years ago, people had little choice but to find spruce pine from the forest, yet today, we have artificial trees that look like the real thing. If you’re planning your Christmas decorations for this year, keep reading as we debate the topic of real or artificial Christmas trees.
Artificial trees
When searching for Christmas decor, online suppliers such as Christmas Elves has a wide range of artificial Christmas trees. One reason to choose an artificial tree is you only have to buy one, which simply gets put in the attic until the next Christmas approaches. You can either order a tree that has all the trimmings or a blank tree and enjoy decorating it for the coming festival. Imagine unboxing the tree and all the branches open up, all adorned with baubles, tinsel and even the lights are ready to go. If you view decorating the house for Christmas as a chore, an artificial tree is perfect. This is also the choice for eco-friendly families, as they have no desire to cut down a growing tree.
Real Christmas trees
Due to supply and demand, there are special Christmas tree farms where you can order a tree of the right size, which is packed and delivered to your door. The smell of fresh pine needles is not something you can create artificially (maybe incense). If you are looking for an online supplier of Christmas decor, to go along with your real tree, Christmas Elves is worth checking out.

You could be forgiven for not feeling very festive in these troubled times we are facing, yet it is no good thinking negatively and with online suppliers of Christmas decorations in Australia, you can transform your living space in no time, you and your family can enjoy a traditional festivity and spend some quality family time.
Where to draw the line
While we try to stick with tradition, we do have to draw the line somewhere, the majority of Australian families have an artificial tree in the attic, this is eco-friendly, convenient and there is no mess to clear up.
