tree adornment in winter is a pagan/scandinavian ritual. it is supposed to happen where the tree is - not after chopping it down. the ritual is so widely spread that even in central/eastern anatolia it is still celebrated under a different name and different time. and still wishes are involved.
oh man, i will sing this every year from now on!! ima sing this to my kids! finally a Christmas song that sings about not chopping down beautiful trees! "Please don't kill another living thing!"
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:1-5 King James Version Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
OH MY GOD Best Christmas song ever. We're growing our own tree this year. It is literally a weed. It is growing in a perfect yuletide shape no need to murder a perfectly good tree ...... it's growing in a planter also.....cant even kill a pretty weed nor harm a fly.

Anyone with the mind to write "Death is no requirement for your happiness" is wonderful in my book.
