Christmas season, I always feel terrible about one thing. That is Christmas trees which is not a gift, but it is really awful to me and as what Prof. X said, the selfish, clueless, and ‘straight to the trash’. Please don’t think I am out of mine of non-emotional person. Every time when I see all the cut downed trees from Christmas tree sale, I feel really sad about it and wonder where all the tree come from; maybe every Christmas season, we cut down one mountain because of our selfish. I don’t understand why Christmas tree becomes symbol of Christmas; from the religion presentation, I learned other religions take care of nature and try not to cut the trees, but not for Christian?
Wrapping paper is also one of problems of this season. All the gifts are wrapped nicely with wrapping paper and ribbons. However, after open the gifts, all those things become trash; even if I save some papers or ribbons for next time, I’ve never used it. Also, shopping bags become garbage after the season. I think these are also huge waste of trees and money because of our insanity.
There are many products at the market and I can easily find awful and useless one from it. It is also easy to show other people how awful or how useless they are, but I think that doesn’t solve any problems. Recycling and reuse are really helpful after the seasons. Also, we have to stop cut down the trees to decorate our house for short time. I don’t know when we start to give each others gift without celebrating real meaning of Christmas day. On Christmas day, if you want to share your love to families or friends, write and send card to them; not E-Mail, and do you want to save more? Then, make your own card with old rapping papers and ribbons

sorry tell you this; I am working at a flower shop, and we have plenty of christmas tree. Not many people buy them now because of bad economy, or some other circumstances (Thanks God), but we spend lots of money for this holiday season!
The thins that I am always trying to think this holiday season is---Keep Chirst In Chrismas!!
i agrre with the Xmas paper wrap--a complete waste
We waste so much during the holiday season with wrapping, trees and many other things. It would be interesting to see how much is wasted during this season in comparison with other times of the year and also maybe to see if this holiday's waste has increased or decreased from last Christmas.
