    Why not plant a new tree rather than cutting one this Christmas?

    Most Christmas trees are grown as farmed plants, they are just a crop.

    You bring it indoors and watch it die. Its fleeing life essence permeates your home, bringing cheer and good will to you and your family — like vampires who prey on trees!

    I’ve always thought the reason we bring an evergreen into the house in the winter was to add some color to the house in the dreary dark days of winter. At least, I like it for that.

    I haven’t done real research, but I always thought the custom started in Germany where the evergreen tree was the only one still cover with green on the branches to put the ornaments on.

    So of course we kill them and waste them.

    Some people get trees with their rootball attached, and then plant them after Christmas…

    Even though my state provides most of the trees for the East Coast of the US, I’m not a fan of dead trees. I had a living Norfolk pine for many years in a rolling pot. After it died, I’ve gone treeless.

    The “Christmas” trees are grown on tree farms and they are a crop, so don’t let people make you feel guilty about buying one and then throwing it out after it dries out.

    In our parts, the city has a “Christmas” tree pick up. Those dried out twigs are turned into mulch which is used up in the spring in the city parks and flower beds. FYI, the mulch from those trees has an high concentration of acid, which is good for promoting roses to bloom.

    “SWEET BISCUITS” Is this “Irony” or “literally”?
