A wonderful essay on the joys of a real tree... real beats plastic any day. My biggest regret this time of year is that we no longer have a woodburning fireplace to have a real Yule log. But such are the times.

Yes, with the artificial tree you are buying cheap, long-run convenience in a cardboard box. That seems to be what people want these days. The real tree? You bought an experience. Often a family experience. But these days that seems soooo yesteryear.
