For those of you who live in New York City and celebrate christmas, we’ve found a pretty cool website. I might be empathizing too strongly with evergreens, but personally, I’ve always felt a little weird about dragging a perfectly healthy tree into my house, keeping it barely alive for a few weeks with a bucket of water, dressing it in lights and nicknacks, and then junking it at the landfill when i’ve grown bored of it. So I’m pretty excited about Charitytree. It’s a website where you can buy a christmas tree, have it delivered right to your home, and your money goes to Amber and Variety, two children’s charities. I’m glad such a company exists, even for the delivery option alone! And what could be nicer than having a weird tradition like indoor trees benefit kids on the side? Probably nothing. Happy Holidays, folks.
