  GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS!!

  I usually proclaim my deepest love and appreciation for Umbra, but this answer may have caused irreperable harm to our relationship.

  Umbra, what about a tree with roots that can be planted after the holiday?  put it in a big pot keep it moist, and in the spring, have the kids help you pop it in the ground ...  sorta like a "catch and release" policy for trees.

  Or, change the tradition a bit. maybe plant a tree outside near your house, and in the winter, put on a coat and go outside to decorate it. maybe even visit it outside, take a deep breath of fresh winter air.

  Just because a tradition exists, is NOT reason enough for it to continue to exist blindly.

  There is absolutely no excuse to chop down a perfectly healthy tree, organic or not, put it in their living room for 3 weeks, then throw it into a landfill to rot with old diapers and banana peels...

  santa will still come, tree or not, i promise.
