The wounds are deep , for those that are traditionalist this time of year . Yet another "symbolic testimony . The tree represents everlasting life , it is just a symbol to a long time Christian tradition .

God made the evergreen , for us to enjoy through our lives here on Earth . We should use wisdom when deciding to cut down a majestic evergreen , solely for our satisfaction . Not use it in a way to commercialize , "Jesus's Birthday" .

The evergreen tree , is a beautiful tree . One of majestic and life giving beauty . I think the trees should be left alone to grow naturally . The artificial trees today , are realistic in comparison . You can buy pine scents to add to the aroma of your tree , with out cutting a real one down .

The safety aspects of having a real tree in your home , add to the dangers . Many fires could have been prevented . Christmas trees dry out incredibly fast , thus causing fire hazards in the home .

I love the live Christmas tree and I respect the meaning of it's religious ability . I also can respect it enough to not cut it down , only to be discarded at a later date . We should embrace the fact that the tree was made by God , as one of his creations .

(REVISED)

The world is fast becoming torn by it's religious symbolism , being wasteful only adds to the demeaning of Christ Birthday . Groups of people do not want the Christmas tree to be called the "Christmas tree" anymore , they want it called the "Holiday Tree" .

We use our lives , to impress and impose our way of thinking . I think God would want us to use rationality and love , when deciding to cut down one of his creations . Just think to the reasons why you feel depressed and down after the holidays .

You can always say ,"I saved something this year , that God holds dear to his heart" .
We can respect the birth of our lord and Saviour in prayer and the giving of true love from our hearts this holiday season . This would be the best Christmas present to our lord .
