christy made me aware of this space-saving holiday idea.  but i wonder does it mean that i give half as many gifts or does it mean that i receive half as many gifts?

Yikes. A partly plastic thing that you have to store all year? No thanks. I’d much rather bring in a real, biodegradable tree every year and throw it out.

Maybe the way to think about things is in units of volume * time. I may have a tree that’s twice as large, but I only have it for about 1/24 of the year.
