Answer: Fake Christmas Trees
Clues: “Faux” and “Balsam”
A survey by the American Christmas Tree Association found fake trees are now the norm, and it’s not even close.
83% of people planning to put up a tree this year will use a fake one. Just 17%, or one in six, will buy a real one.
Fake trees have been the preferred option for over a decade now. And real ones just keep losing more and more ground.
Quote, “The data confirms that artificial trees have become the standard in American holiday decorating.” They say the main reasons are cost, convenience, and safety.
You can reuse the same tree, don’t have to deal with pine needles everywhere, and there’s a lower chance of your tree catching fire and burning down your house.
