You’ve sourced the local, organic Christmas turkey? You’ve bought a tasteful range of Fair Trade, natural gifts or charity goats for friends and family? You’ve either sent recycled paper charity Christmas cards or given up on them entirely? What about the tree?
Real or plastic? Which would you choose?
