It's such a big question and dilemma and I love he thoughtful way you are bringing it forward. What new traditions are possible? How might we do this in a New Earth kind of way?
We have also stopped putting up a tree of any kind. It started a few years ago when I felt disconnected from our recycled fake tree. Then in the last few years I’ve just hung ornaments all around my house where my cats can’t get them! I haven’t had a real tree in over 25 years as I never felt right about cutting a live barely-even-a-teenager Life Force down for the brief point in time we get to enjoy it. But boy do I miss that smell!! It brings back so many memories. I love the idea of essential oils. Just need to make sure they are pet-friendly as animals can aspirate and cause harm to their lungs if not!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely and pertinent article 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲
I wonder if you are learning anything about all of the spraying of chemicals we, and our poor forests and farmlands, are enduring? That strikes me as a huge cause of fires and disease for us, wildlife, and our pets…
Hello! Thanks so much for sharing your feelings about this!! Yes, the memories with that smell! Thanks for the reminder about essential oils and pets! The course has touched a little bit about the spraying of chemicals. I agree, completely toxic and has huge ramifications!!

It is a big question/dilemma! Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, what else is possible? Creativity, ingenuity and imagination are powerful things!
We have had a fake tree for years
Snip a few branches to put around the home for the smell
This works great 👍
Perfect, thanks Scott!
