In 1906, the Tombstone Prospector (newspaper) described a new innovation for the Christmas season … “one of the novelties during the Christmas celebration this year are artificial Christmas trees … The imitation is so exact a production of the real article that it is difficult to tell the difference between the two.”

I personally use artificial trees precisely so to avoid exactly that problem, so…it’d be defeating the whole point for me.

This tree is so beautiful I should kill it. Always conflicted about the custom.
