Who doesn’t love the smell of evergreen in their living room during this festive time of year? I do, no doubt. There’s just something so “Christmassy” about a real tree, shedding pine needles and all, that I can’t see myself replacing with those stiff artificial ones. Until, I took a gander at these beauties. I must admit, I wouldn’t be disappointed waking up with presents under these terrific trash-inspired tannenbaums.
