I take serious issue with the first paragraph of this article !!!. Nothing beats a real Christmas tree !!!, and if anyone frowns upon that time honored tradition, then they are nothing but a deranged, brainwashed, loony, leftist, liberal, eco-nazi idiot !!!. Yes there are some folks who for what ever reason cannot have a real Christmas tree, and that is to bad for them, but don’t try to bash those of us who will always have a real Christmas tree.

So, to the people that are offended by this article, and say it is someone’s job at stake, well, here are 2 ideas. 1, a lot of jobs exist that are bad, stupid, demeaning, morally wrong, and shouldn’t exist at all. I believe that being a tree farmer is not one of those jobs. I think it is great for someone’s job to be outside, help the fruition of mother nature, as well as putting in a good hard day’s work. My only opposition is the inevitable death of the tree for the entertainment value it brings, which brings on my second idea. Those who desire a real tree should get one with roots still attached so it can stay alive, be transplanted after the holidays, and have a chance to survive and become a great tree. Not only would that stop any environmentalist from harassing you, you can plant it in your back yard and be able to fondly look upon all the genrations of pine trees, and how many Christmases your family has celebrated, all cherishing great memories of those times

In reply to John. John, if someone has a problem with buying a real tree because it 'kills' the tree, I always tell them to buy a living tree with root ball. After the holidays they can plant it in their yard and enjoy it for many years to come. My family did this several times and then would string lights on all our old Christmas trees in the yard. A great alternative for people who are concerned about killing trees, and still helps to support families like yours.

John, I love real trees…always had them when I lived in NC Mountains & in Vermont…..but here in Apalachicola Florida….It’s just to hot….the real cut tree just does not last very long. Oh I still get a small live one….but decorate the whole house with these trees made of “stuff’. Thanks for being a grower of Christmas Trees!

John, I totally sympathize. These Christmas trees are really cute and great space savers for folks on the road or in small apartments or those with allergies or medical concerns like Tricia. God knows we had real, local, farm-grown trees for years until my dad’s allergies couldn’t take it anymore, then we bought the pre-cut ones to support the local boy scouts and put them on the front stoop but to make people feel bad for cutting down a living thing that was grown on a farm for that purpose??? what about the broccoli and spinach you vegetarians a PITA lovers eat??? feel bad for those poor veggies. How can you people call yourselves eco-friendly if you kill plants to eat them!!! It all sounds ridiculous.

now go out an support your LOCAL FARMERS because without them you would only have CEMENT TREES!!

as for our poor folks with medical concerns, looks like a great alternative for a festive Christmas, just don’t make the rest of us feel like horrible people.

Shame, no link to the original creator of these ideas, and no credit to them, Yeah, that’s the spirit.
