The reasons I know that make sense are:
1. Allergies prevent real trees
2. Cost of getting a new tree every year
I used to think there was a three, but now I disagree! 3. Ease of fake tree. They are NOT EASY! They are heavier than a real tree, they take MUCH longer to put up and arrange and they just don't look real, no matter HOW nice and expensive they are! Plus, you don't get that smell!
OK, maybe there's this too:
3. Fake trees are less messy, but I'm not buying that as a big reason either! LOL If you take care of a real tree, you don't get a HUGE mess and with fake trees you have to make a mess getting it out of storage (at least everyone I know has to bury it most of the year!)
