I love it... celebrate life, kill a tree.

Commando, that was a cool trick. I thought they shut us down for a second or two.

Essentially, calling a christmas tree a family tree is like calling a shark an octopus and frankly it's insulting.
Unless you are completely intollerant of others, how could the existence of something called a christmas tree cause someone else suffering just because its not their tradition? I dont like mountain climbing but I dont get annoyed when someone else does.
I will certainly not be doing any "Family" spending at Lowes.

Hmmm, you mean like how we (human kind, not any one religion, race or creed) had to rename jewfish?
I happen to know lots of jewish people that STILL call the "goliath grouper" jewfish.
The world is full of intolerant people, some of them ignorant. Like at my job, we can't say Merry Christmas anymore. We CAN say Happy Holidays. Simply stupid. Absolutely no one means anything demeaning by saying Merry Christmas.
Reefwreak, I at least work to get a double use out of mine. Once I cast a bag of concrete around the base of 3 trees, and dropped it in my canal. The bluegill fishing was phenomenal within a couple of months.
This year, I'm having everyone bring in their trees to me, and I'll be mulching them with a chipper.

Just think of all the fish and corals we have bought over the years for our enjoyment but they have since died away. Same thing with a Christmas tree - we buy it for our enjoyment (and the celebration of Jesus' birthday) but unfortunately it doesn't last forever!
It would if it were still in the ground... we just cut its life reallly short. Just pointing this out, I'm not a tree hugger or anything.
Well the fish we own that die (unfortunate and saddening) actually have a brain, personality, animal cells. A plant is just that, a plant, it doesnt feel pain. Here comes the tangent to this thread. What is more sad than a christmas or "family" tree dying is the problems our hobby faces head on each day. Think of the poorest kept lfs you've ever been to, seeing all of those dead fish and dying corals yet no one is there to protect them. Although, if you went into a puppy store and saw this animal rights activists would be everywhere. Think of the arsenic being dumped on reefs to make a profit... Screw the trees, protect the fish and our reefs.
I recently went to a favorite lfs of mine and the cashier asked a stock person to take this fish into the back and put it into the tank because the customer didnt want it and the fish was beginning to die in the bag. The stock person looked right at me, smiled, and threw the fish in the trash. I think these are the problems we should be focusing on instead of the family tree.
