Here's what happened to your Christmas tree this year:

Don't expect to find an artificial tree either...

“This supply chain overload means that there will be fewer artificial trees available for consumer purchase this season, and those that are available will come with a higher price tag,”

Could this be another effort to delete Christmas?

In my old age, I have a $1 tree from Dollar Tree...with a few little ornaments and my children's initials as the main theme.

PLease remember....trees are a renewable source...and they grow pretty quick.

Happy to live in the North Carolina mountains where Christmas trees are born. No shortage for us!

Gee maybe Christmas can be about CHRIST this year then, instead of about trees and gifts and gluttony?

I have a nice artificial tree you can have. We quit setting it up several years ago. Bah, humbug!

We’re in year four of a shortfall due to several large Fraser Fir tree farms in the Southeast selling out their land to developers. They’ve relocated farther outside of “civilization” but it takes a few years for the seedlings to grow large enough to harvest. Most folks want at least a six foot tree.

I’m envious. Charlotte here and the wife won’t let me move to the NC mountains as it’s too far from the grandchilluns. I still look though...😁

I have a nice artificial tree you can have. Bought one about 10 years ago - used until it became threadbare and ratty.

Replaced last year.

After the last dried-out tree almost caught fire in the house - and I was sick and tired of picking needles out of my carpet, that was it for me for live trees.

Kids hate it b/c it doesn't smell like a pine tree - so I bought these little hangers to put on it that come in different pine scents - douglas fir, blue spruce, balsam - I even put them on the fake wreath.

In most of the country you can just grab a chain saw and cut your own tree....

In our new socialist paradise they could run out of sand in a desert.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a Made in America Christmas.....every where you go.....

There’s a tree, at the corner stand, toys that are made by hand....

But the prettiest sight to see, is the LOCAL holly that will be,
On your own front door. 🎶

We hunt and kill our own tree (Oregon) each year. It’s a big family event.

Not a problem in Alaska. We have lots of Christmas trees for the taking. Just bring a saw and some tie down straps.

If you went caroling now, someone would call the police on you.
