RE: The Origins of Christmas Trees... Evergreen worship, legends, stories, a sad fairy tale and my opinion
Wow, what a thorough and enlightening post!
That fairy tale would have traumatized me, too. I am actually a bit tree-traumatized, since I walked through the woods as a child with my family, where trees were being cut with chain saws. I will never forget the screaming of the trees.
So now I just go around hugging them, every time I get the chance :)
Merry Yuletide! :)

Fellow tree hugger here.
Yes, Andersen wrote many sad tales and I was giveb his book so young , It is beautifully written though. Yes, let trees thrive the seasons and be coated in moss and shelter animals, if it must be taken down le it be useful. My partner had a real one as a child but was in a pot and was planted, so that is an option, to have a tree outdoors.
I am fine with fufunchis tiny faux tree for many years to come.
I just heard the other day that you can now "rent" Christmas trees - meaning they will be planted back into the ground afterwards. Why didn't anyone think of that before??
For that they must be in a pot and not chopped off and yes so much better, you can pay to plant a tree. So many more logical solutions but changes take time
