"At night, you can hear it rustling and slurping water out of the bucket." (once again, a little excerpt from "The Twelve Terrors of Christmas") Yes, indeed, a very nasty thing we humans do each and every Christmas--head out to the ol' tree farm and hack away at evergreen trees that are old enough and big enough to be hacked. It's barbaric really and ever so wasteful or as in the written prelude to "Treevenge" puts it, "...the horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn't the exciting peace on earth that is experienced by most." If you're not too faint of heart, check out "Treevenge" but be warned--the trees win and it isn't pretty! (also--lots of language and gore in this)
