Finally, a few pre-Thanksgiving words on live Christmas tree safety. My only live Christmas tree safety tip is this: Don’t! Leave it growing somewhere outside! Seriously, imagine a door-to-door salesman showing up at your house saying “I am offering you the opportunity to pay me to put a messy, highly flammable allergen in your home for an entire month!” You might laugh before you threw him off your property. There are very nice fake trees to be had; Aluminum trees are no longer state of the art, but you can still get one if you love kitsch. And unlike live trees, you won’t have to buy a new one every year. If you just have to get a live tree, plant one in your yard and get outdoor lights.
I wish all of you a marvelous and bountiful Thanksgiving. May we all be mindful of what we have, and what others do not have.
