I told someone the other day that I don't like Christmas trees and they looked at me like I just rabbit punched an infant. But they couldn't tell me why putting a tree in your house is an important part of Christmas. They just said "it's tradition".
I never got the point of trudging out to a tree lot (the woods if you're manly), standing there for hours in the freezing cold looking for the perfect specimen. Its like Hannibal Lecter at an outdoor shopping mall in the winter.
People who know me don't mistake me for a tree hugger -- but this I truly believe.
As for Christmas tree lots -- they're usually staffed by people who work as carnies during the summer. They prey on people's overwhelming holiday spirit overcharging for a piece of dead wood. So after you shell out 60 clams they hand you a receipt and a mini candy cane. Its ironic they're handing out candy to suckers.
My last point is -- the fucking things are fire hazards! This would be cheaper.
