The annual round of trash-talking between the National Christmas Tree Association (representing real trees) and the American Christmas Tree Association (artificial trees) is one of my favorite holiday traditions. 
I love how passive-aggressive it is. Artificial Tree trade group: "Oh real trees are totally fine, as long as you don't mind bringing dust, mold and fungi into your house."
Do any of you actually spray your real trees down with a hose and then leave them to dry for 24 hours before bringing them in? In my house it's straight from the roof of the car to the living room
Artificial tree manufacturers: "Real trees *may* be a fire hazard, but as long as you follow these 6,000 safety guidelines you can minimize the likelihood of your family perishing in a roaring inferno. Or you could simply buy an artificial tree and sleep soundly at night."
