Ugh. My husband always wants a real tree, but I convinced him to buy a fake one in 2011 and we've been using it since then. This strengthens my resolve!
I once tried to avoid the needle shedding during a post-holiday Christmas tree disassembly by shoving the tree out of an adjacent window. A naked stick fell into the yard and EVERY SINGLE NEEDLE stayed in the house until painstakingly removed.

And believe this Southern boy: Those bastards really hold a grudge.
But they are a mess to deal with.
