For me as a Latvian idea of plastic tree sounds something like Soviet / Russian. Never have had something like that in my house or in a house of any of relatives.

plastic trees are so foreign to me. i don’t understand it to be honest

Most I’ve seen in my life were made of plastic but then again I don’t come from a country with an over-abundance of pine trees.

I never understood the tradition of cutting a perfectly healthy tree to obscure it with decorations to then throw it away after a month or two. It would be less atrocious if once people were done with them they at least planted them back or turned them into useful firewood.

I guess I come from a country with an over-abundance of pine trees.

Make sense. I

would guess that this has a lot to do with different cultures and traditions. Before the christmas trees where more than just trees. When it christmas was over it was used as firewood and etc. But today not in a regular household. Not sure what they do with it after the garbage trucks have picked them up. But there are special garbage trucks for picking the trees up when christmas is over.
