🎄 A clever necessity or a crime against the festive season
Why the backless half Christmas tree isn’t as bleak as I thought and is actually a work of festive geniusI am a Christmas tree purist but this year I opted for the popular ‘half-tree’ to see whether it was a clever necessity or a crime against the festive seasonDecember 7, 2022 7:00 amlunch, I can take or leave a mince pie, and I don’t mind whether there is any Baileys, as long as there is some sort of booze involved in the day. But when it comes to Christmas trees, I am a purist.
Going to the garden centre every year as a child to choose the tree was the best bit of my year, only enhanced by the high-stakes jeopardy of watching my dad wrestle it out of the car and through the front door of the house, swearing lightly under his breath.
So this year, haunted by that woodland bloodbath, I decided to pause my snobbery and try – through gritted teeth – a tree I’ve heard about, the very idea of which goes against all my values. For starters, it is fake and, to make matters worse, it is far from big. In fact its compactness is its USP. This particular tree is designed to save space because it is…only half a tree. Not half the height, but half the actual tree. A cross-section of a tree. Imagine if a tree were a backless dress.
