I have three fake trees. One 7' and two 4.5'. Growing up we always did real trees, and we tried it when we first got married because I do love the smell, but the year we both got super, super sick near the end of Christmas and we didn't have the energy to take it down for a couple of weeks and it was dying and becoming a fire hazard cured that impulse.
We went fake after that and never looked back. If we get sick, or have to go out of town unexpectedly (or just want to go away without taking it down first), we can leave it up without worrying about it.
The 7' is getting a little hard to manage, so I think in a couple of years we'll downsize it to a 6', or maybe just get a couple more 4.5 footers and spread into some other rooms.
As for lights, they're all led with multiple functions, so I set the big tree to change from white to color (sometimes I make it blink), and one little tree is set to color and the other to white. So we have the best of all the worlds.
