@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.
