Oh my! The terrible fate of the Christmas tree to be only adorned for such a short while then discarded.
I could see how this tale of "The Fir Tree" could have you decide to go for the Faux tree!
I use to decorate the natural Christmas tree that surround our house with goodies for the birds and animals.
Love the history of the Christmas tree origin you shared.
Evergreens hold a special place in my heart, adding color to the bleak landscape.
Often decorated with the winter snow in a winter wonderland!

May there be peace on earth and goodwill towards all mankind in the holiday season and all year long!
