In 2024 we bought a living tree with the hope of using it every year. We decorated it on the day of the winter solstice. During the 2024 canicule, it shrivelled and died from the heat.
One more try: last Christmas we bought the tree in the photo above from Jardinland. We always get a table tree out of fear that Sherlock will think of it as an early present, an indoor toilet.
Unlike 2024, the 2025 tree graced its table December 21st - January 6th and is now outside our front door. It is bravely putting forth new branches reinforcing the symbolism of the birth of spring.
As an agnostic, Christmas for me is about the turning of the earth toward spring. It is why I want a living tree or at least a branch.
Will this tree survive the summer heat? I hope so.

Good luck to you. My brother sent me a mulberry tree that we will plant tomorrow. It was a very thoughtful Christmas gift. We had 3 beautiful mulberry trees in our yard growing up. I loved the fruit. I hope it survives. L Carey
