I'm the allergy-ridden person in our house - we had a real tree for the last time when I was about 6.

Both my mother & I have the pre-lit fake types that open like an umbrella - HEAVEN after trying to figure out which color went where!! She does hers with all the traditional, old ornaments from long ago, though, and I do mine in a white, gold and pink, color theme. It works for both of us!
