People talk about the slaughter of millions of turkeys every year for Thanksgiving, and the President even pardons a turkey or two every year from being killed.  But what about pine trees?

Isn't it such a waste to chop down a tree that'll be up for a month at the most?  How many resources are we wasting for this tradition?  After Christmas, so many trees are left unsold in some parking lot and dragged off to the chopper.  It's totally unnecessary.  If we actually let these trees grow, imagine how much better the air would be, for one.  Don't people know how beautiful big trees are?  Why don't we just decorate our trees outside and let them grow as they're meant to?
