What are the advantages to a live Christmas tree vs. fake tree?

Me and my mother have only used fake trees on Christmas and take a half hour tops to put up. Other people don't want anything less than a living tree, but that seems harder to me because you have to get a new tree every year, go out and get it, bring it in the house whole, and water it everyday. That seems like a hassle to me. All we do is bring in the parts, put the parts together and voila! Christmas tree we can use for years. So why would you opt for a live tree?

I have always used a fake tree until a few years ago and I think live trees are so much better. I think its so much fun to go pick one out and I think they are so much prettier. Although they are a little bit messy, they smell wonderful! Over all I think that they enhance the christmas cheer and make the holiday all the more fun!
Merry Christmas!
