It’s always a little sad to finally be packing up the Christmas decorations and decorously escorting the tree to the tree graveyard. We bid the ornaments a fond adieu until next year. With all that science can give us, however, one would think that they at least could genetically engineer Angels’ Hair (tinsel) to mature in that tatty green basket grass in time for Easter—or the municipal Christmas tree to shed down to a ready Maypole.  Maybe that’s how it used to be done.
