      Maybe some enjoy flammable? My lunatic ex took an old Christmas tree out to the backyard and set fire to it because he wanted to see how fast they burn. He nearly did burn down the house, that was a BIG fire, very tall fire. But if you have a big enough space, or broke it down to burn more slowly and reasonably? Fuel.

        TIL my family is lunatics.

        We do have a fire pit and it’s fire department approved distances from structures.

      For me it’s all the winter dormant insects in the tree that wake up once the tree is inside a warm home that makes me never want a real tree.

        Or the smell of frozen animal piss thawing (I’ve heard some people mark their trees with fox urine to prevent theft)
