Artificial trees that is.
Is this what the world has come to? A real tree is too much of a hassle for you? It takes too much time to go out and pick one? I mean we have already lost actually going out and cutting one down all you have to do is throw one on the roof of your import when you are at Walmart.
What fun is there in a fake tree? No cleaning up needles, no remembering to water, no laying on your belly trying to get it level as some one holds it up and walks back and forth telling you it isn’t quite right. No trimming it up yourself to the perfect shape, no cutting off the bottom for a clean water sucking stump, no pine smell in your home, no dragging it out after cmas and throwing it in the lawn tell you can take it to the park for tree dumping. No nothing. Just pop it up and instant cmas.
No, trees should be work, they should change each year (again…like facial hair), they should take time, be a little stressful, and then you have something. What is Christmas without stress?
You might as well have an artificial Christmas all together. An artificial baby Jesus and a fake Bible too. Get rid of everything that is old and not digital and doesn’t fit into your webworld. You can’t have one rememberance of the past?
It used to be just democrats and maybe green people had fake trees (and my grandma, and people who had those silver metal ones, like my mom has, but those don’t count cause those are cool…) but now days everyone has fake trees.
And don’t even get me started on pre-lit…
So why did you do it? What made you all go fake?
I guess it all depends on how you view it. Personally I am not a fan of all the Christmas decor hoopla. It is fine. And I am not against it. But for a lot of folks the Christmas season is primarily about how it makes them feel; whether that be nostalgic, or cozy or family fuzzy. Nothing wrong with that. But, unfortunately, these things can often obscure and weigh down the sacred purpose for the holiday. It becaomes more about traditions than about the God of the Universe who has made himself flesh and blood so we could know Him up close. And, he would have the experience of humanity as part of our redemptive story.
I don’t really care if the tree is fake or real. The quality of my Christmas celebration is not determined by the quality of my tree.
All I know is God would have a real tree. Formerly living trees are more sacred than plastic…
Go build a log cabin with all your trees too, because based on your standards, your house is artificial.
Take that tree hugger!!
If it was made out of plastic! But what can I expect, I am sure you are both artificial people. It is OK to feel guilty for who you are. That is the Holy Spirit in you…
Or prove me wrong and show you believe in the real tree?
i think you forgot about the dog peeing on the tree.
Good times
