Michigan ranks third in the nation in the number of Christmas trees harvested, and supplies approximately 2 million Christmas trees each year to retailers across the U.S., according to the Michigan Ag Council. Roughly 37,000 acres of land in the Great Lakes State is devoted to growing Christmas trees.
Every Christmas my daddy would drag a Christmas tree inside and say, "Decorate the tree, kids."
We'd start decorating it and my mother would come running into the room screaming, "THIS TREE IS A SYMBOL OF NIMROD[…]NIMROD MARRIED HIS MOTHER TO KEEP THE BABYLONIAN BLOODLINE PURE, AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS THE EVERYTHING TREE![…]IT'S PAGAN! IT'S AN ABOMINATION!
And we'd scream and she'd drag it out and my daddy would drag it back in and say, "DECORATE THE TREE!"
And we'd say, "Please, we don't wanna decorate the Babylonian symbol of evil."
It was horrible. So I left home, because I couldn't stand it anymore.
