I have always found something quite obscene about slashing down thousands and thousands of beautiful fir trees that have taken several years to grow, and using them for a week or two before trashing them. I am a very "green" person and I think trees are one of our most beautiful planetary gifts.
Besides anything else, the artificial trees these days are made amazingly lifelike, and the better ones (perhaps all of them now) are impregnated with fire retardant, making them very safe. Quills don't drop off as the tree gets dryer, as happens with real ones, and they can be dismantled after the holidays, wrapped and stored, and will come up smiling season after season. We used to know one family who simply wheeled their "fake tree" fully dressed out of the house into their adjoining garage where they kept it intact in a prepared corner all year long, under a dust cover. The next christmas they just wheeled it back into the house.
These days a person doesn't have to be into any particular religious mode to fully enjoy all the bright, colorful practises of the holiday season, that help to lighten our mood and cheer us through the chilly gloom of winter. But let's face it, these days, with skyrocketing costs of everything, an awful lot of people with no more money than they've got common sense, go crazy with their plastic and create fiscal nightmares for themselves, splurging on "The Christmas Thing". Smart people know that most of it is just robotic habit, carried over from one generation to another, going back to times when everything was much more affordable. We are all bedazzled and titillated and tempted to part with our cash for things that have little, if anything to do with the level of enjoyment we can get from the holiday season, and the truly smart people are enterprising enough to ignore the "urge to splurge" and still get every bit as much satisfaction and pleasure out of this time of year.

Every year I'm torn between the fresh beauty of a real tree and my responsibility toward the preservation of nature. This year I pulled out my fake tree but some years I have to cave!!

Fake. Easier to put up, decorate and no worry of the house going up in flames. Who wants to pick up pine needles til next Christmas.

Real tree. You can't beat having that smell inside the house.

Both choices damage the environment. Must think of a third alternative.
