From MIKE DOBSON
I assume Ariadne bought a large tree for Christmas (13 January). How
silly.
We bought a small, potted tree five years ago. It takes centre stage
each Christmas and lives outside for the other 353 days of the year. The
tree is in a bigger pot now and our son knows it’s ‘not like granny’s’ because
it grows, lives, keeps its needles and doesn’t suddenly disappear when Christmas
is over.
As far as Christmas trees are concerned, not using a living thing for
decoration has no virtue whatsoever.
