My mother didn't care for artificial trees, but she's in her eighties now and a small tree is all she can handle by herself.
I always have a tree in our guest room year round:

It now has more ornaments than shown in the photo.
I had to give our beautiful 7-1/2 foot tree away because it was too much work for me. So I now have a tabletop tree in the living room:
