My comment about the real tree wasn't meant to be offending or mean and I'm really sorry if it sounded like it is! Of course we all have many wooden stuff, it's just that where I live Christmas trees end up in the trash and after that in a landfill. There are not any organizations here that use them up or recycle/compost them so they don't return to earth like you said. It didn't occur to me that this was an option where you live. I really like your videos and watch them every morning with my coffee at work and they make my day. Even if the topic is not relevant to me I still watch because of the positive vibe they have: ) Again, really sorry if I sounded mean!

Lol. I had a good chuckle with your honesty for being a coaster girl. lol: D (commenting only halfway through the video)
Have a wonderful Christmas Laura and Aaron and hope you plan to have some downtime from filming/posting. (our daily/weekly habit of you guys being in our lives, can cope for a couple of weeks)
Happy to still see your photos on FB during this time - I have to admit as a photographer my nature, I have a hard time trying to NOT share what is beautiful in my garden and I usually see it the most when I've allowed myself a holiday from 'work' stuff.
Thanks again for another awesome year: D

I think next year you are an errand should have a Christmas tree decoration challenge like you did this year with your flowerpots. In then when ever you decide to have a pole and decide whos the winner ornaments ornaments that to either made or purchase or whatever you should auction them off somehow and take that money and donate it to your favorite charity close to your home. I think I remember over the summer there was some sort of charity or organization that was Promoting gardening or agriculture or something like that in your area. Thanks for all your great videos and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Sincerely

In response to the comment about using real trees rather than artificial ones or vice versa, I am completely on the side of real trees. I agree with you 100 percent! What is truly environmentally cruel is the practice of using an artificial tree, even for many, many years, and at the end of its usefulness, it being tossed into landfill where it will remain indefinitely. So, Lord willing, I will have a real tree and toss it back into the woods where it can become habitat for other animals for a time until it fully returns to the earth.

I think that goes back to looking at plants as a renewable resource. YES. Thank you so much for sharing this perspective.
I've gotten sentimental when some of my houseplants don't do well and I have to remind myself that it has many brothers sisters and cousins who are out in the world thriving. Initially it was hard for me to watch the process of planting and removing annuals, but now I'm starting to get used to the rhythm. Thank you for so graciously responding to this perspective by sharing your own.

The lighting in this, and your looking back videos, is superb. Great choice. Also, such a thoughtful and tactful way to respond on the cut tree question. We've had some doozies come through the garden center, and while I try to be tactful, none of my responses were as thoughtful! Do the natural tree as you see fit. Whichever way makes it the most fun for you and keeps it a challenge will be fun to watch.

I went to a Land Conservancy office today. It had some trees decorated with natural items. One that was very interesting was an egg shell. Cut a dime size hole in one end. Place moss in side. Wrap and glue very thin red ribbon down one side and up the other using it as the hanger with a bow at the top. And yarrow laid on the branches. Looking forward to your tree from NE Ohio. And YES lights.

Real VS fake, We always go to a tree farm about 3 miles from home. Real is the only way I would have it. It is an American tradition, fake trees have only been around for the last few decades and didn't look real till recently. As for the environment fake trees or plastic in general takes for ever to break down naturally. So I agree cut a tree and plant several more to replace it.

The shoes thing. I think it is a regional thing. Here everyone takes off their shoes when you come into homes. We also have lots of rain here and tonnes of snow (and road salt. If people wore their shoes inside, everything would get very dirty, muddy and damaged from salt. I think if we lived in a dryer climate, we might wear our shoes inside a bit more.
