		<description>I am just not a fan of the whole cutting down of a live tree for the purpose of decorating it for a month.  I would much rather plant one in my back yard...which is what I do.  Every year I plant another blue spruce!  Decorate it outside for all to enjoy!</description>

		<description>IMHO a Christmas tree is a real comfort item.  When you're in a place that looks nothing like home and feels nothing like home and then something arrives that is exactly like what would be at home it's a morale booster.  As big a boost as a package of cookies or individual packets of PowerAde.  

Sometimes the biggest morale boosts are the unexpected things.</description>

		<description>I agree with ya. That's freaking dumb. Our men and women in the service need lots of things, but trees are certainly the last thing on a soldier or marines' Christmas wish list.  That money would be better spent on sending real comfort items.</description>
