When you stop and think about it for a moment, the whole idea of sticking a huge dead, flamable piece of pine scrub in your house is, well, wierd.

There is a local tree company here that takes a cut tree, shakes it, fumigates it, and then dresses it up with lights and ornaments. They then take a photo of the decorated tree, take all the lights and ornaments off put everything in a box with the plastic wrapped tree and send them to customers in Japan.

Once in Japan the customer looks at the photo and attempt to decorate the tree EXACTLY as the photo appears. You can have one of these "special" ready to assemble fresh cut trees for around a couple of $1000....
