Why do I need to install only a live Christmas tree

I'm all hands voting for live trees. I love the smell of pine needles, twigs sticky resin and the sense of the New Year, which comes into the house only with live spruce. I do not like the only one nasty little voice inside that keeps telling me: "Hey, you're ruining the nature of buying a live Christmas tree!" But now it has come to an end. I was finally convinced that a living tree - a great buy and it does not harm the environment.

With a live Christmas tree, I relate warm family memories. A few days before the New Year tree delivered to the apartment through a balcony nezasteklonny using rope as carry spruce on the fourth floor without elevator it was not very comfortable. And it was a real adventure.

Then the tree is entered in the apartment and left on the floor. It was thawed before placing in the cradle. And gradually, small apartment (and we only managed to hold spruce!) Filled a dizzying scent that felt at once - the New Year has come!

On the day of the installation tree all in a good mood, no swearing. Maybe so are subject to the most volatile, which identifies a real evergreen tree?

Then we dressed up Christmas tree. First Dad untangling lights and check if the light bulbs in all their work. And my brother and I carefully took out boxes of toys, wrapped in yellowed newspapers from 198... of the year.

For each bead carefully chosen place. Heavy - on the lower branches, light - higher. His hands were pricked and smeared with pitch, and it was yet another proof - here it is, New Year, the real, has come!

I had mixed feelings when suddenly came the boom of artificial Christmas trees. On the one hand, I worry about the environment, and I am also very sorry that the forests are cut down, on the other hand - I could not accept the fact that the tree does not smell, and twigs she had no sticky with resin. Artificial trees seemed so dull... as if for the storage year in the attic they had time to dust pretty. Instead, invigorating smell of pine needles - the smell of dust. No, I could not accept this.

And, as it turns out, he was right. In this article, we, along with the shop "Firs"Raznesom to smithereens the myth of the three main New Year's symbol and convince you that a living tree where steeper plastic similarity.

Myth One: buying a live Christmas tree, you are harming nature

Christmas trees are grown specifically to Russian and European plantations. Experts expect to turn Christmas trees, and once taken out of the nursery one party, prepare the ground and are planting new seedlings. It looks like a flower growing, only the process longer.

Artificial trees are made from petroleum products. Oil - a non-renewable resource. And imagine how much toxic waste remains after the production of plastic fir trees. It turns out that caring for nature does not even smell here.

Christmas trees that come from nurseries, created in order to please you in the holiday. Remember, as in the TV series "Friends" Joey told Phoebe that each tree should fulfill their New Year's destination?

Just do not rush to the Christmas tree collapse around the corner - just there may well be trees felled illegally. But also to look around the city Christmas tree a certified market is not necessary. Fresh and beautiful tree can be ordered online store, With the clock.

The second myth: the living tree is difficult to install, and after cleaning needles are everywhere

Adepts of artificial Christmas trees tell us how easy it is to install plastic miracle, and then clean the closet until next winter. And there are no needles on the floor.

Firstly, the Christmas tree industry is not standing still and is now live for eating can be easy to buy a stand in which it is established without any effort. Secondly, in the store, "Christmas Tree" can be ordered installation service if spruce is large and heavy, and enjoy only its decoration process.

But sweet cake for those who do not like after the holidays are everywhere needles. Although I personally think there is something touching in the fact that in July chance to find a needle, which fell under the carpet. But if you're a practical man, buy decorative mat Cover. Stela him under the Christmas tree, then shoot toys, pull the cover on the tree and pass it out of the apartment. Quickly, accurately, painlessly. Or even easier - again invite the specialists of "Christmas trees" that they carried spruce.

If you find it hard to say goodbye to the Christmas tree after the holidays, buy a mini-fir in the pot. With proper care, she will live in the apartment for about four years, and then it can be planted in open ground.

Myth Three: artificial tree safer

If we are talking about fire safety, yes, plastic wood can be more secure. But with reservations. Firstly, the only safe high-quality artificial Christmas trees made of heat-resistant materials.

With regard to live firs, then immediately it may burn dry wood, so it is necessary to choose only fresh green Christmas tree and put it in water or wet sand away from heaters. From the store, "Christmas Tree" will bring you a fresh tree and explain how to care for them to the needles had not been dried after several days.

With regard to health safety, the living tree wins a clear superiority. Coniferous aroma beneficial effect on humans. If you have a family who is suffering lung diseases or neurological disorders, Christmas scent to receive medical treatment you for the New Year holidays.

But poor quality artificial Christmas tree can release harmful fumes. Of course, you can hardly feel the strong decline in health, but still pleasant enough.

Put only a living Christmas tree. She is a beautiful cozy and brings warmth and welcome in the house of his pine aroma. Happy New Year!
