Hi. We used to have a real Christmas Tree every year.
We were whipsawing it and bringing it to our home from our field, but now we don't have a field because we bought it.
We still light a tiny fake Christmas tree, made from plastic, every year, but it doesn't give us the same feeling.

My country doesn't have Christmas , but this video reminds me of the smelling of the tree. and if I was, I think a fake tree is better, just too lazy to get a real tree and handle it after Christmas.
and i like the word indulging, could i say it's indulging ? if it's very intersting?

I think a fake tree is more sustainable: I have the same one from over 20 years, so I haven't to use the car every year to go and buy a new one, or to go to the landfill to recycle it. And same thing for the transportation from the farm to the shop.

In Japan we have a plastic tree for Christmas. Its common. I also have a very very small and cute plastic one. The story about real tree was so interesting! Thank you so much BBC! Happy new year.

Wow, the first time Ive heard the word dilemma, how fancy it is! Such an excited feeling to know its definition in both English and Vietnamese (my mother language)! Thank you so much!!

Well I'd prefer a fake tree, it's cheaper and nature saving and thanks for a great video, practicing listening skills like this is essential to become fluent in English

12 years is too much to chop off and kill it. I believe the traditional way should be changed ASAP specially in our current climatic crisis.
