I killed a bunch of “living” Christmas trees, even following all the directions, only indoors for 9 days, misted regularly, heat registers closed in the room it’s in, etc. those things aren’t grown in pots, they’re violently dug up and 9/10ths of the roots hacked off, then immediately transferred into a completely different environment.
I got a Norfolk Island pine that was grown in a pot three Christmases ago, it’s still healthy. It’s an all-iday tree, since it’s there year round. It’s 5.5 feet tall and a bit too floppy for real ornaments and lights. I made tiny ornaments and hang some from the ceiling above it to just be “around” it.
Also it doesn’t smell like pine at all, as it is not a true pine. But it’s happy in the house!
