Re: Having a real Christmas tree is better

Born and raised in New England, I lost my interest for the Christmas Holiday very early on...being close to impoverished at times kinda had a hand in it..non-religious beliefs added to it...

But the biggest impact was around the age of 10-11, being in the car with my parents and seeing a lot filled with cut trees.

I was young and naive and didn't know about 'Tree Farms", I honestly thought all these poor trees were cut from the woods.

And I felt sad...honestly heartbroken...that someone would go into the woods and kill these beautiful creatures....

Over the years I've cut down the ugly scrawny trees(thinning the woods is a good thing) and even had a artificial tree(what was the carbon footprint for that Chinese thing?)

Now I will not take the life of a tree for 'Decoration" and I'll not buy artificial trees due to the hypocrisy of it all, Christmas is not overly celebrated in China...yet they make almost all of the artificial trees for us? Hello?

The last tree I had was a 4' blue spruce...alive and planted...which became the memorial for an 18 year old cat who passed.

The truth is...I'd like to see a good fairly accurate account of how many trees that are cut...never get purchased and are composted....or more likely...thrown in a landfill

No, I'll celebrate The Winter solstice, the true New Year and stand out in the woods, marveling at Trees..evergreen and deciduous..Picea, Abies, Tsuga and Pinus

And as I hear the wind rustling the dried leaves of the Fagus...I smile and that is Holiday Cheer
