When it comes to Christmas trees, opinions tend to be quite polarized: you’re either Team #RealTree or Team #FakeTree. As someone who stands firmly in the real tree camp, I can appreciate the passionate, often entertaining debates that arise on both sides.
One family’s exchange over their Christmas tree choice has gone viral, thanks to the comedic reaction of dad, Mark. In a video shared by their daughter, Lily, from their home in Riverside, California, Mark’s disdain for the idea of a fake tree is nothing short of priceless.
When Lily’s mom, Sarah, suggested they might want to consider a faux tree this year, Mark’s response was immediate and dramatic. “It’s all just plastic!” he exclaimed, clearly appalled. Sarah attempted to reason with him by highlighting the cost-effectiveness of a reusable fake tree and even suggested they could use a candle that smells like a real tree. This was the moment that sent Mark over the edge.
He shook his head vehemently, muttering “No. No. No.” before deciding to retreat from the conversation. However, he couldn’t resist adding a parting shot: “I don’t know what’s happened to you,” he said to Sarah. “And I know I can’t fix it. So, I’m just going to walk away.” He then waved dismissively and left the room.
Lily later told Modern Family Blog that her dad can be quite dramatic at times, which only adds to the humor of the situation. The video has garnered a lot of attention, with many viewers finding Mark’s reaction just as amusing as the footage itself.
In response to the viral clip, Mark remarked, “If my reaction can help even one family avoid the mistake of getting a fake tree, then my moment of pain was worth it.” Ultimately, the Napoli family settled on a real tree, as that’s the only choice for true holiday spirit. Yes, there are needles to clean up and the occasional mishap with the cat, but the authentic look and scent of a real Christmas tree are well worth the trouble.
