The 25 Observations of The Holiday Season: Day 5 1/4, Fake Christmas Trees Belong in the Garbage Not The Living Room


Day 5 1/4 – Fake Christmas Trees Belong in the Garbage Not the Living Room

There are obviously many aspects of the Holiday Season that I have opinions on. However, there may not be one greater than people who institute fake Christmas Trees into the equation.

Nothing says sac-religious more than a plastic Christmas Tree. Are you that lazy? Are you really that festively-bland? Nothing says moron more than sticking three poles together and tossing it in the corner of your living room.

Hello everyone. How do you all like my tree?! I got it from Wal-Mart and it came with the lights and everything! Happy Holidays!

How about the age-old tradition of heading out to a tree farm with a saw in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other sap-filled hand. You really can’t compare going to Target for a tree v. going to the Great Outdoors for one (even if it is a tree farm) If you’re an “indoor person” most of the year there’s no reason you can’t brave the elements and bring out your inner Jeremiah Johnson come December.

Another obvious advantage to the real tree is that nothing smells better than freshly cut pine needles. Ok fine a few things do but that’s for another blog (freshly opened can of tennis balls, anyone?).

So please don’t be the family that decorates the outside of their house all big and fancy and then tosses a plastic tree on the indoors.

If you’re gonna do it then do it right and if you wanna look the part you better play the part. Enough said.

Happy Holidays
