How would you like your Christmas tree?

Spotted by friends in Dunedin, a sign reading:

 Christmas trees for sale – free range, organic.

I’m not sure how you define a free range tree but they cost $6 which was a bargain compared with those we saw advertised in Christchurch for $35. That included delivery but the advertisement didn’t mention whether or not they were organic and/or free range.

    Ours is artificial and came out of a box that had been stored in the ceiling since last year on Sunday.

    I have a mental image of happy little Christmas trees wandering all around a paddock to get the best spot of soil and sun! I’m not quite sure whether they glide or hop, though.

    “I’m not quite sure whether they glide or hop, though.”

    And I wonder if they pine for the great open spaces when they’re taken inside?

    Ah! The festive season. What it does for people.
    But then you deserve a break, Hp from the seriousness of the year.
    Only six more sleeps – must get the chimney cleaned.

    I was going to say that christmas trees make good new year’s bonfires but I guess they’d still be green by then 😉
