Oh, Christmas Tree, Will It Be Farm-Grown or Artificial This Season?
If you've ever considered purchasing an artificial Christmas tree, let's count the ways you'll be glad you did. Christmas trees have been part of the holidays for centuries, but artificial Christmas trees didn't become popular until aluminum trees arrived in the 1960s. Of course, artificial Christmas trees have come a long way in the last 40 years, and today's trees are made from durable plastic that won't fade in color. That's why today's artificial Christmas trees can last as long as up to 20 years, saving homeowners money every year once they have their artificial tree. Now, consumers can choose from many varieties of truly lifelike artificial Christmas trees.
There are countless benefits of owning an artificial tree, including:
Artificial trees are cleaner than live Christmas trees. Artificial varieties don't shed needles, don't leak sap and don't requiring regular watering and monitoring. No maintenance is involved in making sure an artificial tree stays beautiful all holiday season.
Artificial trees are safer. They won't become a fire hazard as they dry out, and many artificial trees are made of fire-retardant plastic and are less likely to cause major damage if an electrical malfunction and spark does occur.
Artificial trees are reusable. Although you may purchase an expensive artificial tree, it is an investment that will allow you to likely save money in the long run.
Artificial trees are recyclable. Artificial trees often come pre-lit so you don't have the inconvenience of dangling lighting .
