Some cheeky provacateur (and most likely a filthy atheist!) has been tagging the discarded Christmas trees in an undisclosed neighboorhood that contains The Observer’s lair with a message that inspires consideration of our brothers of the flora. The Observer has also witnessed individuals (and most likely filthy Christians!) removing these tags. This battle has been played out for several days. By committing this image to the posterity of the interwebs is The Observer picking sides? Bet your sweet bippie he is.
And this leads The Observer to a historical factoid. The first Christmas tree market was opened in New York in 1851 in Washington Market on Greenwich Street by Catskill woodsman Mark Carr to cater to the pagan floral worship of the many German immigrants of old Gotham.
