The Benefits of a Real Christmas Tree

The Benefits of a Real Christmas Tree

Growing up we never had a real Christmas tree. Whenever me and my sisters asked could we get one my parents always replied with ‘oh they are too messy. We will have pine needles everywhere’. Despite this, as soon as I had a family of my own I had to get a real Christmas tree. There is just something quite special about them. I remember when we eventually got our first real tree that I could never not have one. Walking into the room and straight away smelling the tree is amazing. It really gets you excited for Christmas.

Real Christmas Trees delivered to your door

When I was given the opportunity to review a tree from The Christmas Forest I was beyond excited. You can order various sizes on their website. Or you can pop into one of their many stores, they even deliver anywhere in the UK! This makes me so happy! Whilst I love the idea of going to choose a tree as a family and tying it to the top of your car like they do in all of the Christmas films. Past experience proves that this can be more difficult than it looks, especially at the moment whilst my children are so young. Getting the tree delivered was so much easier, I was given a delivery date and it arrived as expected along with a water based stand.

Our Christmas Tree

After following the preparation instructions it was up and ready to decorate in no time. It is such a beautiful tree, we chose the 6ft size and the width is just perfect. The trunk is really straight, the tree is even and it looks lovely in the stand. We have never had a water stand before so I am interested to see if the tree lasts a little longer than previous ones. The Christmas Tree pot is a separate cost but once you have purchased it you can obviously keep it forever.

The tree is really easy to look after once it is in a pot. Just ensure that there is enough water in the pot, that the room it is in isn’t too warm (I always turn the radiator off in the kitchen once my tree is up) and I also spray the tree with a little water each day. You don’t have to have a water pot to keep your tree in, in the past we have had a normal Christmas tree stand however the tree doesn’t last as long.

The smell of the real tree is amazing and is so strong. I could smell it as soon as we unwrapped it from the packaging. It makes me feel so happy as soon as I walk into my kitchen.

We spent December 1st decorating our beautiful tree with some trinkets and baubles, reminiscing about when we bought them and making very some very special memories. Thank you to The Christmas Forest for helping make our Christmas extra special.

  1. What beautiful photos. I must admit to being very envious of your real tree – my parents have a huge one ever year (and I mean really huge – usually around 14ft) but we just have an artificial one at home. My husband won’t let me have a real one unless we’re spending Christmas Day here!

  2. we used to put up our Christmasd tree as early as October. Yes, that early. but then when we had out two toddlers, our everyday becomes so exhausting that I dont like to set up the CHristmas tree anymore. Yours is so gorgeous and i love it that everyone helps.

  3. Before, we set up our Christmas tree as early as October. Yes, that early. But when we had our two toddlers, i no longer initiate the setting up of the Christmas tree. It seems that my everyday is always filled up with household chores. Yours is so adorable and real gorgeous. Love the idea too that everyone helps in decorating the tree.
