A Christmas tree here in Bermuda will cost North if $200 and come with an 8 hour queue so sadly this year we've passed. I would have paid $300 though to avoid the queue.
- patentatt 6y agoIf I recall, Hawaii has a similar situation, where residents wait for “the Christmas tree boat” to arrive with all the Christmas trees for the whole island.
- supernova87a 6y agoAre they worse for wear, given the week-long (?) journey to get there?
- etothepii 6y agoI think they've been ok generally. I think it's only a couple days from new jersey by boat. The main issue this year has been strikes on the docks.
- sneak 6y agoWhy not go for an artificial one, then?! They look just the same, and will last many years, without annual waste and cost, and are less of a fire hazard.
- etothepii 6y agoThis is a good question. I could say, "an artificial tree won't make the house smell as nice", but I think this would be dishonest. Ultimately it's because I like the tradition, if we had children I would have queued up for 8+ hours to get one as decorating the tree is one of my fondest memories from childhood. An artificial tree just wouldn't spark joy in the same way.
