Tree Fellers
We bought a real Christmas tree for the house. Is that a bad thing? I think it must be because when I suggested we get one for the ±«Óãtv reception in Inverness I got a right ticking off from the Head of Trees or some such person.
Yet someone else told me that if you buy a tree from the Forestry Commission then it allows them to plant dozens more for future generations. Is that true?
Besides, when I was a child we always had an artificial tree. I think my parents bought in from Woolworths in 1959 and every January we'd shove it back in its cardboard box, dismembering a few wire branches in the process.
Each December, when we pulled it out again, it would look a little more scabby than the year before. Latterly it looked like a collection of wire coat hangers with tinsel wrapped around it.
So I reckon I'm owed about fifteen years of real trees. Any objections?
