My answer is a bit convoluted, so I won't be choosing one of the poll options: *Ahem* Normally we get a real tree, but I find them to be a pointless hassle; as you have to water them, they're covered in sap, and they're heavy. I would much rather we have a fake tree, none of what I mentioned above, plus you only pay for it once, instead of annually. And finally while we usually have real, and I would prefer fake, this year we probably won't even do the whole tree thing as we're not going to be around enough to appreciate and/or look after it.
