Like any good Jew who married an earnest Protestant, I love a Christmas tree, despite never having had one before the age of 30. The smell? Divine! The late-night twinkle? Dreamy! The idea of having an actual tree in your house? Kinda weird…but I’m into it.
But after a decade of cleaning up pine needles and hauling a brittle carcass to the sidewalk on December 26th (OK, January 20th), I was ready to go the artificial route, particularly since there are so many great, realistic offerings these days.
