O Tannenbaum

A wonderful essay on the joys of a real tree... real beats plastic any day. My biggest regret this time of year is that we no longer have a woodburning fireplace to have a real Yule log. But such are the times.

Yes, with the artificial tree you are buying cheap, long-run convenience in a cardboard box. That seems to be what people want these days. The real tree? You bought an experience. Often a family experience. But these days that seems soooo yesteryear.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
