Doris Keeping the Tree – Fake or Real?
We have actually identified 5 options for your Christmas tree. • Tree lot or farmed tree. These trees are specifically raised to be Christmas trees. Surprise – Val likes this option! If you are going for a real tree, using trees that will be replaced and don’t hurt the eco-system. You may want to ask if they use pesticides or herbicides. Try to buy local. • Get a permit and cut your own. Not our favorite option. • Buy a fake tree. – Not recommended. Most of todays trees are made with PVC – which out gas toxins into your home. Also some warn about lead dust that can fall from your tree. Ick! Please read the labels and warnings on your trees. • Buy a living tree that can be planted after the holidays. If you do this, you will want to talk to a local nursery and find a living tree that is native to your area. • Explore an alternative to the tree. • Create a tree out of lights on your wall. • Use bows and wreaths to create an alternative holiday display. • Create a beautiful gift table.
