Remember the trees... please?
Each year millions of trees are murdered and subject to abuse and negligence. All this is done in the name of “Christmas”. I’m a pretty open-minded person, but I fail to recognize the point of killing a perfectly harmless and happy tree that is minding its business, cleaning the air WE breath, and asking for nothing in exchange. This selflessness should be rewarded not punished. It’s quite the debacle!
This isn’t the worst of it… after they're murdered they are subject to strange rituals including adornment with lights, and burdening their branches with “ornaments”. How would any of us like having metal, plastic, or glass objects suspended from our limbs?** I know I wouldn't like it.
It’s quite sad. If any of you (my three loyal readers) feel the need to “celebrate” Christmas, celebrate responsibly... please buy an artificial or potted tree, and encourage others to do so as well.
** ADDENDUM: I'm sorry... some people do wish to look like christmas trees:
