I do both!!
My fake tree holds the heavy and expensive crystal ornaments I've collected over the years, and my real tree holds my real ornaments- the ones the kids have made for me, family has given and ones from my childhood.
I didn't put up the fake/expensive tree last year because it got too late (and I was lazy!) but this year, I'm doing it all.
I have to have a real tree- it's not Christmas without that wonderful evergreen smell.
I really like the Douglas Firs, although they've been hard to find these past few years.
