ThereJ s a huge range of options and sizes, including pre-lit trees, which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights. Another big bonus of choosing an artificial Christmas tree is cost ： artificial trees can last for decades, so they work out cheaper than paying for a real tree every year. Like now retailers (零售商）are offering great deals at the moment： at Tesco, there J s 25 percent off artificial Christmas trees.

D．Supportive. 2、Which is the benefit of buying an artificial Christmas tre
