There are ways around not having a Christmas tree but staying in the holiday tradition. Real trees had impossible to find then after 3 weeks you have to get rid of them. Artificial ones are rather expensive and do not look too good after a couple of years. Let us now even talk about what pets and small children can do to them. Then there is the required space it takes up. You can think outside the box and get creative and still have the symbolic Christmas tree.
