“Christmas…is a time for cutting down trees, and hanging plastic do-dads on them, watching them die slowly in your living-room, catch fire, and burn down your house, and all your possessions.” – Steve Martin
Simon Jester, I, too have a quote. It’s parafrased somewhat, but:
Christmas is when humans celebrate the coming of their lord by butchering a tree alive and stringing it with flammable lights. What? It’s got its dark side!

Reminds me of Benard Shaw, who said, “I love flowers…. I love children too, but I would not like anybody to cut off their heads and arrange those heads on my table.”

I buy potted trees and then plant them in the yard after the holiday, I’m a fir-tarian!

We always had a plastic tree.
That would be a tofu-tree then.
