O Christmas Tree!

I'm currently in a battle for my fake Christmas tree . . . and I intend to win the war with Senor Don Gato. Cats and Christmas trees aren't always a great combination. The little bugger is gonna find himself out on the street soon.

But I've recently found out that real Christmas trees are more environmentally friendly for a number of reasons:
  • While the trees grow, they replenish the air with oxygen; just one acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen to support eighteen people.
  • Tree farms provide habitat for birds and other wildlife
  • Due to their hardiness, Christmas trees are often planted where few other plants grow, thereby increasing soil stability
  • For each Christmas tree cut on tree farms, 2 or 3 new seedlings are planted.
  • Real trees can be mulched and used in gardens come summer planting
