To Tree or Not To Tree?

Okay, so Yule is nearly here. I wanted to see how many of you will be putting up a tree this year.

I put up an arifical tree that I made sure was Made In The USA, not China. If I lived out I would buy the potted ones and plant it. I don't have a fireplace to do a Yule log so tree it is.

I preffer artificial trees for several reasons: They can be reused, you don't need to cut down a tree to get one, doesn't make as much of a mess.

In Germany we have several evergreens planted in the garden where we can leave offerings so I don't feel like I am missing out.

Yes, I always have and always will decorate trees with my family. I have an artificial tree. I always remember that "Christmas trees" were stolen from our Pagan ancestors.

Blessed be
