Christmas is just weeks away and many people are heading out to pick out the perfect tree for their family.

News 12 went around Brooklyn to ask residents if they prefer a real tree of a fake one when it comes to decorating their house for the holidays.

People who like real trees say they like the fresh smell of the pine and some tell News 12 Brooklyn it makes things feel more homey. Those who prefer fake trees say they're easier to put up and take down and won't dry out and become a fire hazard.
