Is it real or is it?

For those who like to put up trees during the holidays, it may be time to look into purchasing an artificial tree. The great news is that artificial trees have come a long way in quality and type. Trees even come with the lights already strung. There are dozens of websites and catalogs to check out to find the tree you like best. The one pictured is from Frontgate.

The major benefit to an artificial tree is being able to use it year after year, so investing in a good quality zippered tree cover will help keep your tree protected during the time it's in storage.
