Nothing says Christmas is coming more than seeing homes lit up like….well, Christmas trees! We may grumble that Christmas seems to arrive earlier each year, but the sight of a Christmas tree certainly makes you feel festive. Or does it?

Do you get incensed by the sight of a fake tree? Maybe the thought of a real tree, shedding needles fills you with dread? Whichever side of the debate you are on, we can reveal the true views of British households on Christmas trees and decorations.
