“I’m glad we don’t get a real tree,” Hannah surprised me by saying the other day.
“Oh? Why is that?”
“Well, people who cut theirs down take the habitats of wildlife and it’s not good for the forests.”
I assured her that most people got their trees from tree farms, so it wasn’t destroying wildlife habitats.
“Oh. That’s good. But some people get theirs from the forests. I still like our fake tree.”

I've heard that Christmas trees are a sustainable resource and actually better for the environment than artificial.
I'm terrified of "real" because a few years ago a woman got her Christmas tree home and when she was decorating it, a bat flew out of it and bit her. She had to get rabies shots. I am terrified of bats.
I didn't realize the dangers, but I do realize that it's a heck of a lot easier to just get the tree out of the garage...
LOL
The idea is that the tree gets put into a landfill. "They" don't know our parents, who milk their artificial trees to the last needle. Memba the Christmas bush perched atop the little table? They got that one in the late 60s and got rid of it in the late 80s! They've had their other one since...
