Peanut, if you're a Grinch, I've got your back, we never had a tree in our house until we got a hand-me-down artificial tree from my brother-in-law. We had no kids and my wife and I aren't really into buying presents for each other so we never saw the point.

I was always a real tree guy until I got married - especially if you cut it down yourself. I held my ground for a few years until my wife got tired of picking pine needles out of the carpet (and her feet) and insisted on an artificial tree. We got ours at Costco for a couple hundred bucks and it's been fine - 6 years and going strong.

Still doesn't compare with a real tree though. I'd go back to a real tree in a heartbeat, but I like having sex.

I'm with Peanut and Antithesis.

Mrs Furnace and I are D.I.N.Ks who are often away at Xmas. Some years we are at relatives, other years we are on vacation, like this year we'll be leaving Xmas day for Honduras. Some years at home or in Canmore. In fact I remember one memorable Xmas day a few years ago we ripped up our carpet and started installing hardwood.

I'm with Peanut, Antithesis, and the Furnaces... Except that I'm a bachelor, so it's not like I'm depriving anyone of Christmas. But even if I had a family, there'd be no tree in the house. If the kids begged me for one, I'd drop them off at the orphanage.

Just kidding! (about the orphanage)
