Has anyone just ditched the Christmas Tree?

Some may have heard this story before, but it was so sweet.
My son and DIL have a mostly husky dog. The first year they had the dog we took her with us to get a tree, and there was this little boy (maybe 5-6), dressed in an adorable outfit. As we went by he said “LOOK, it’s a husky!!!” In a voice that would have made you think it was Santa he just saw. Since then it’s become an outing to take the dog (and the “kids”) to get a live tree, and pay quite a bit for said tree.
This year we will be gone for 2 weeks in December, so we bought a 3.5 ft. Fake tree from Balsam Hill. It’s a great little tree, but said kids won’t even acknowledge it’s a tree :). These same kids have a very inexpensive fake tree in their house - clearly it’s our job to get the good tree.
