Yes, I can imagine that artificial would be far less expensive in the long run!! Thankfully I don't have to buy mine as they are on private land...just look and chop.
Are there no rules for chopping down trees in your forests, 'thul? Or is the forest on/through your own land? Or do you just throw your spruces under a tarp or something and sneak them home?!
I've never had to really think about it but I can suddenly see the difficulty in having to pay not only for a 'natural' Christmas tree but even for firewood!I guess those are the advantages of having electricity these days...but I use firewood quite often and would hate to have to pay for it first! Having a wood stove then wouldn't always be a cheaper option to having to pay an electricity bill.

Hmm...what about maybe a... *RotE spoilers?*
There's my day filled, thinking of RotE-themed Christmas trees...might be time to buy one of those fake ones after all!!!!
Now there's a great idea!

The best Christmas trees we have available over here are imported from Norway, hence the expense. They look and smell lovely. If only I could afford one

I've just had to grit my teeth and put the central heating on because I can't stand being cold any longer! I'm shivering as I type! We've had our first dusting of snow today, only a little, but a taste of what's to come. Brrrr!
We've had somewhat more than a dusting overnight. A good few inches of snow now. Thankfully, I don't have to go out in it.
