Holiday traditions can mean a lot to people.

If you had a tradition of getting a real Christmas tree every year, would you ever consider getting a fake tree to make life easier?

The man in this story suggested to his partner that they get an artificial Christmas tree instead of a real one since they have a baby on the way.

His partner didn’t take it well, and he’s wondering if he was really in the wrong or if she overreacted.

AITA for saying we should get a fake Christmas tree this year?

My partner “Jessica” (27F) and I (27M) are expecting our first baby in late November.

Jessica absolutely loves Christmas.

It’s always been very important to her to have a real Christmas tree.

This man suggested getting an artificial Christmas tree.

With the timing of the baby’s arrival, I suggested we get an artificial tree this year.

We’re going to be exhausted, and Jess is going to be recovering.

It just feels easier.

His partner didn’t agree.

When I suggested this, she got very emotional and upset with me.

Jessica says that a fake tree would completely ruin Christmas, and she doesn’t want our baby’s first Christmas to be ruined.

She called me a Grinch and is giving me the silent treatment now.
