Why it's important to thank Christmas Trees for their service
I minister to discarded Xmas Trees.
Yes, I have a few offbeat habits, but one of my favorites is my relationship to trees. Especially Christmas trees, after they’ve fulfilled their destiny of being adorned and celebrated at Christmas.
I have always had an affinity for trees — they have a certain energy and personality and they are very loving/patient toward humans. In that vein, I give gratitude back to trees-any trees. Hugs here and there (yes, on the street in broad daylight), a hello to one that I find beautiful and if a branch is hanging down, a high five is in order.
