My adult kids (both in their 20's) insisted that starting this year, we stop buying actual Christmas trees. They're both staunchly pro-environment. Gen Z, ya know. They're going to live in a different world than I did. They already think differently in profound ways. And they vote like it, too.

@ImprovisingNate More information is always the cure for everything. My kids are pushing for a living plant of some kind - not anything made of plastic.

I look forward to living in a world we we know and are confident that the people selling real Christmas trees are part of the greater good and not rogues just out to make a quick buck. That'll be because no one would even think to be a rogue out to make a quick buck.

I know I'll never live in any such world, but I'm an optimist.

@Alan My baby girl is in her early thirties. I continue to learn from her. It’s a beautiful thing.

@chasdebrus They are (easily) the best things I'll ever produce - creatively or otherwise.

It is pretty difficult to find a Christmas tree in Istanbul. My sister's Christmas tree is over 20 years old and when it isn't Christmas lives out on a deck overlooking the Bosporus.

If you put your living Christmas tree's gigantic pot on a sturdy cart it makes the whole getting the Christmas tree process much easier.

They just roll their tree into their townhouse from the deck and have at it with the decorations.

Okay. I get it but what's next? TP? PT? [Yup, I've tried bamboo products & they failed.] Cardboard boxes? Furniture? Wine? Bourbon? Trees are grown for purposes that make our live's better. My friends have an Xmas tree farm. This is how they make their living for the year. Not everything should be made of plastic. Rant over.
