This Christmas tree seller is outside Greenwood Park, the beer garden near the cemetery. (BTW, there’s an enclosed bar in the compound that’s still open.) If you buy a tree now, in three weeks the ornaments and lights will still be hanging, but there will be a pile of needles on the floor under the sad, dried-up tree.

You don’t want a fake tree, and you don’t want a cut tree, or a big one, either. The mini live ones are an option. But what do you do with them after the holidays, really? It’s not like you can sneak up to Prospect Park and dig a hole and give it a new home.

The Christmas tree in front of Borough Hall is huge but not ginormous. Here in Brooklyn we don’t need a trillion twinkling lights. Cut-outs in the shape of stockings, stars, and moons are just right, a change from traditional ornaments, though I sincerely doubt whoever set up the tree was trying to reference Christmas’ origin as a pagan celebration.
