Why does my Christmas tree seem to breathe?

I’m not sure what’s really going on, but that is a lovely, poetic way of thinking about it.

This question made me smile.

I love you.
I wish I had a live Christmas tree now.

I have clue but that’s pretty cool!

I also do not know why your tree is breathing, but I am very jealous about it. Maybe it is still settling.

Are your animals participating in hi-jinks activities on the other side of the tree that have them brushing against the branches?

I know exactly what you are talking about. It is beautiful and relaxing. Cool and fragrant. I hope someone can tell us how it does it.

(Now I sadly gaze at the fake tree in our living room realizing what I am really missing.)

Maybe it’s a ghost and you smell pine as it moves past the tree. Oooh…spooky…

that’s pretty awesome I have not had a live Christmas tree since i was a young child i remember those smells it brings back good memories….. but i do believe in fake tree’s because of environmental reasons “save the tree’s” and fake one’s can be recycled

Tree’s can be grewn.

tree’s are living things also and I dont believe in farming for profit personal and religious reasoning

@master_mind413: So you would never give or accept a bouquet of flowers? That’s cold.

Pretty much whats the point in killing a life just to hand over death to some one else ?

no on a serious note my belief is simple, if you personally grow the flowers yourself you treat it with respect with love you water it you raise its is “personal”

now if your mass grown with 750000 others your sprayed with poisons kicked around then ripped out of the ground and shipped off life is life no matter how you look at it it should be treated with respect

Oh, so it’s okay to kill things if you gave them life first? I see.

Oy vey. @master mind413, I don’t spot a period in that entire post. You may want to edit.

it is a give and take relationship the very reason the world is in such turmoil is because humans have lost that in there principle belief system every thing need’s balance

Interesting question. I researched a bit this morning and it’s from the decomposition (drying out really) of the needles and release of resin. In a warm, dry environment (whether in direct heat or not) the tree releases scent in it’s gasses from decomposition and is spread through tree gassing.

This runs in a cycle it seems. I’ve had a horrid time trying to figure out the cycle, buildup and details regarding tree decomp. I’ll keep looking and edit if I can.

It’s uhLIVE!!!!!

@gemiwing “tree gassing” So what you’re saying is that this is flatulence?

I bet it has nice breath too… Ahhh, minty fresh!
