A Modern Christmas tree: The eco-friendly alternative to traditional trees
Selecting and decorating the family Christmas tree is one of my favorite traditions of the holiday season may it be traditional or modern Christmas Tree. Typically, my father, my sister and I head to our favorite local Christmas Tree Farm at the end of November.We hike through the snowy hills taking the time to consider the shape height and width of various trees. Eventually, my sister and I selected a tree, and my father saw it down with his old hand saw. Fastened to the roof of our car with ropes or bungee cords, the tree travels home, through the cold New England forests, to our cozy living room.
Although so much joy is associated with decorating the family Christmas tree, I have often felt quite melancholy at the task of cutting down a beautiful, healthy evergreen tree. In an age where we must deeply consider the environmental impact of our choices, many families are now opting for modern Christmas tree choices that are more environmentally sound.
