Paper or plastic?

Its like at the market....rushing into line they stop you cold with a simple question, "paper or plastic?" For many a year we use to go out in the cold to find the perfect Christmas tree- straight, multi branched, and just tall enough to get it into the house. Now, we all have a choice a paper (the real McCoy) or plactic in our Christmas trees.

I switch over sereval years back when I looked at the tree stump that was left and started to think about what I had just done... and which is done millions times over world wide each year. I "KILLED" a living thing! a living thing that would have produced thousands of cubic feet of fresh air yearly. Then I thought about the poor people in Iowa and New Hamshire who really need a breath of fresh air...

So as we decorate our plastic tree breathing deeply raising a glass of egg nogg, we wish you a Merry Christmas, deck the halls.
