Christmas is coming in hot like sauce, and with Christmas comes, of course, the Christmas tree.
The weird thing about the Christmas tree is that much like the day of December 25th, it is actually based around a Pagan holiday and used to help convert Pagans to Christianity way back in the day. If you disagree, that is totally chill.
But, that’s also not really the point.
The point is that Christmas really doesn’t seem to be about Jesus or Pagan rituals or any of that stuff anymore. Once again, if you disagree that is totally chill.
But, if you watch TV or have been shopping on Black Friday, then you know that the focus of Christmas has drastically shifted from the 1800s (or whenever Christmas was actually about Jesus being born).
Christmas is about presents and stockings and, most importantly, trees. So, we are about to drop some knowledge on you about which tree is best for your tiny New York City apartment.
1. The silver tree
This is hands down the best tree. It is obviously fake. There is no hiding the fact that the silver tree is fake, so this is the most honest Christmas tree in the game.
We can all agree that there are no silver trees that naturally grow in nature. So, the silver tree is killing the Christmas tree game.
If you don’t want to have pine needles all over your floor and have a major clean-up in the wake of Christmas, then the fake tree is the way to go and in turn the silver tree is the way to go.
2. Pre-lit Christmas tree

If you think the silver tree isn’t classy, then you should go with the fake tree that comes with lights already on it. This tree is the easiest of the Christmas trees. It requires the least work.
We all know that the holiday season is filled with stress, so if you want to have a little less stress than this tree is the way to go. It makes decorating your apartment easy and there is virtually no cleanup. This is the number two tree as far as decorating your apartment goes.
3. Douglas fir

If you actually want to put in the work of buying a new tree every year, then this is the best tree. This is the quintessential real Christmas tree, and it murders the game.
Obviously, there are the negatives of the clean-up, and some people are apparently allergic to Christmas trees. But for those brave souls out there who don’t care about those things, this is the tree for you.
4. Mini-tree
This tree is dope. Especially if you live in a super tiny apartment. The mini-tree still brings the noise as far as the Christmas spirit goes, but it doesn’t take up a lot of room and can fit anywhere.
Also, if you live in an apartment where not everyone is into the whole Christmas spirit thing, then you can get this tree and represent for the holiday in your bedroom.
,5. Fake tree

This is just your standard green, fake Christmas tree. It doesn’t shed, which is tight, and if you put enough ornaments on it then it might even look like a real Christmas tree.
The major two issues with this tree is that it doesn’t provide the benefits of the other two fake trees previously mentioned.
The first is that you still have to put lights on it. If you are going with the fake tree, then go with the pre-lit tree.
Also, this tree is a liar. It is trying to play it off like it is a real tree, but it’s not and that is bonkers. If you don’t want to get the real tree then at least be honest about it.
6. Dusted tree
ami_njie Hmm, turhake vai pakko saada? :D #christmastree #fakechristmastree #snowing #electrictree #musicaltree #canttakemyeyesoffit #weirdlaugh
This is the fake tree that comes with the fake snow on the branches. Everyone knows that it doesn’t snow indoors, right? Are people confused about the way that snow works?
Also, even if you’re going with the idea that it was snowing when you cut down this tree or something, then the snow would’ve melted. This tree is a liar and it is a bad liar.
7. Pink tree
bellapinkco Thinking about putting up my Christmas tree this weekend. Here is a picture from last year. 💗 #Treetopia #hellokitty #pinkchristmastree
This tree fails where the silver tree flourishes. It is just trying to be honest, but it is way over done.
The silver tree is honest about being fake, and so is the pink tree, but the pink tree is like your cousin who shows up to Christmas dinner and starts airing out all of her dirty laundry.
Just a little too much honesty if you know what we’re saying.
