I have got a fake one at home, but I think I'll go for a real one this year.

Fake for me. I have to be honest, it's just a lot easier.

A fake one. Otherwise you have to cut down a real tree.

Fake. Because we have cats and they like to climb the tree and they leave a lot of mess if they are real.
