Adam: There's the sign! Only two more miles before the turnoff to Metsker's tree farm1 Clayton: I thought you told mom we were going to get a fake tree. Adam: Did I? I remember saying I'd consider it. Clayton: And? Adam: I'd consider it a bad idea. Clayton: Yeah, but why chop down a living thing when you can get a fake tree that'll last for years? Adam: Well, think of the centuries of tradition and the great tree smells! Clayton: Seriously, dad. You can get air fresheners with the same scent. Adam: But I like tradition! Your mom loves sweeping up the needles! And the garbage dudes love the extra work in January! Clayton: Those are thin arguments, dad. And some Christmas traditions need to evolve. Adam: Like the tradition of parents buying gifts for their children? Clayton: A real tree it is!
I’ve read in the paper that you can rent a live Christmas tree. They even deliver it and, after the holiday, pick it up. You can even arrange to rent the same tree next year.
