I've always had a fake one as a kid and continue with them on my own. My spouse always had real ones, but the care and cleanup of a real tree is obnoxious. Gotta keep it watered, gotta keep the needles contained, gotta wrap it in the thinnest fucking bag at the end, gotta vacuum the needles you missed, gotta vacuum the needles that spilled form the bag rips, gotta put it on the curb a certain day. So we do fake. Started with a curb find with dead lights where we just threw more lights on top
