i was just courios

Answer 1

1) I keep a small Birch Tree in my Seasons Room, that I found already dead in on my property. I decorate it to match the changing seasons: flowers in spring; green leaves in summer; colorful leaves in fall; and berries, such as hawthorne and rowan berries in winter

2) Originally, the Christmas or 'Yule' tree tradition was Germanic. Plants that remained green throughout the winter were seen as possessing the spirit and vitality of Summer. They used to decorate outdoor evergreen trees with various foods, to feed nature when it hungered most, so that nature would provide for them in their time of need.

Over time, people started bringing evergreens indoors, to provide a warm place for the nature spirits to reside, and started decorating their indoor trees with berries and other foods, to feed them there.

Nowadays, most people don't even realize that they are continuing these pagan traditions in a soulless half assed manner, but continue doing it anyways out of habit, and without any meaning.

I love stripping down and taking a nice warm shower. I don't like taking a shower with a wet suit and rubbers on. It's just not the same.That is how I feel about real and fake trees. Most if not all Christmas trees are grown on tree farms. This land is being used to grow the trees because it is rocky uneven and nothing else could grow there. It is land that if left barren would erode and wasted. Growing trees is the same as growing corn, wheat, sugar cane, sorghum and tomatoes. The trees are grown for about 8 years and harvested and new ones planted Like all things, if managed properly and we put back what we take, we will survive. I love the smell of a real tree and the warmth it gives off. I guess it has a lot to do with childhood memories and life it self. So do what your beliefs are and enjoy the holidays, whether Muslim, Christian, Jew or whatever May We Have Peace on Earth, Hopefully Soon

We buy a real tree from a charitable organization. The point is that it is part of the Christmas spirit. The beautiful smell of pine fills the house and warms the heart. These trees are grown at a Christmas tree farm of tree stock that dies if it gets too old, or too big, so you are not robbing a forest of what could have been a mighty tree.

After Christmas, we move it to an area where we put cut brush (we own a ranch) and it becomes part of the quail habitat.
Merry Christmas!!

Well, when we were kids we always got a real tree, but now I have no tree at all. True, they will soon be low in population but the good thing about trees is that you can always regrow them. Where I live, most people have the rule that whenever we cut one down, we replant one. My grandparents used the same Christmas tree for five years before they moved which they would replant each year after the holidays. I thought it was a brilliant plan. I think that tree is still alive, or at least it was when they moved away.

Answer 5

Well of course a real tree A fake tree is just being lazy plus they are way much prettier Plus decorating a tree is great because it gets the family together and I love Christmas time the true meaning when Jesus was born

Answer 6

I cut down a tree, we do it because its fun and it gets the family outside. Also cutting down a tree is better for the environment anyway, they replant tree after they are cut down anyway . Buying a fake one is just supporting the use of more oil for plastic and other substances. And also its not embarrassing its beautiful when the tree is decorated!

Its all about tradition!

Answer 7

another choice is a potted tree and replant it.

The point is .. to see the look on your childrens faces when they first see it decorated in all the beautiful lights. The memories it creates and you really can't beat the wonderful smell of a real tree at Christmas.

I actually only have a small artificial tree but a real wreath :)

Answer 8

It is not an environmental question. Most trees come from tree farms. They are planted in rows just like corn. You can recycle the trees after Christmas. Or you could use a live potted tree.

Answer 9

just like the paper issue cutting down a tree is a waste if you spend 100 dollars on a fake tree you could save like 60 trees and like 4,000 dollars so i say its a good investment

Answer 10

-i love the smell of the real trees but my family uses a fake tree
-some people buy them for the smell they give other just probably to waste money because those sh*ts are expensive i mean if u want a good one
