Christmas in Bad Neuenahr

The Bad Neuenahr-ians have begun decorating for the Christmas season. In fact, they started last week and have put up the world's most bleak and unfestive Christmas tree ever. It makes me a bit depressed to see this tree actually and i really hope that they are going to add a bit more to it and spruce it up a bit. (seriously- no pun intended there :s) Also, the closet hippie in me feels a bit sad that they cut down such a huge old tree for a few weeks enjoyment. It just seems wrong somehow.,

The Christmas tree in Edmonton is 83 feet tall. Talk about bringing out the hippy in me! They wanted it cause it is the bigges tree in Canada this Christmas! Even the one in Time Square isn't as tall! Big deal!!

I want a real tree, but the idea is making me feel really guilty.

use the tree for fire wood afterwards. that way its reused and you dont have to feel bad.

Such an old tree... seems kind of a waste but it is really majestic. I have a fake tree (because of the kitties) but I always end up getting pine boughs from the market so it can still smell like Christmas...

Miss you M...
