We live in a part of the world where very few coniferous trees grow (and the ones that do, aren't Christmas trees).
I am not a Christian but have put up a tree every year. I view it as a mid-winter thing, my wife sees it as a Christian thing. In Canada, we would do the cut your own tree thing. Here, we have done the fake tree thing until this year. This year we forked out the money for a real tree. Ikea ships a container or two of real trees here from Oregon every year. This year we had a huge Thanksmas party and decided it would be nice for our Canadian friends to have a real tree.
Ikea will recycle the tree into wood chips. That said, we could just as easily throw it into the jungle behind our house. It would be gone in 6 months. The jungle eats everything at an accelerated pace.
