@@DavidZ4-gg3dmyes it’s a give and take.

That's because you have the money. And because you love you're wife and she probably loves you back. Most people don't have that so some things are pointless. Just because I can do something doesn't mean I want to.
We're likely going to get an artificial tree, contrary to our life-long prejudice. Christmas trees have gotten so expensive....

No actually smart people point out how stupid it is. Like he said, go back in time 300 years tell them youre putting a platic tree for Christmas in your house, theyd burn you as a witch.
I was going to mock the stupidity of Matt’s need to question everything at all times for any excuse, but his wife making him participate anyway is punishment enough. Blessed be the homemaker.
It really isn’t but whatever. Intelligence is taking the time to learn the necessities and demands of something such that it is not necessary to constantly ask questions. You can know there is a way to things and know you have a role in response to it. Intelligence is knowing your role and knowing where and when to press it. Pressing it for the fun of it gets real old real fast.
We didn't have a tree the first 5 years of our marriage... but then we had kids... and we wanted the tree, decorating it and presents under it to be part of our kids memories...
Our Christmas past is similar. My Wife and I did not have a Christmas tree for many years...and then our Son was born and we wanted Christmas to be magical for him. A Christmas without a tree is like a Thanksgiving without a turkey -- or an Independence Day without fireworks. Matt is wrong here -- and he knows that he is wrong.
@@asdisskagen6487No parent should ever do that. Christmas is about the incarnation of Christ. NOTHING else. Have fun with Santa and all that, but make sure they know it's pretend.
Artificial trees are where it's at, Matt. Don't knock it 'til you try it. You only have to buy it once. You don't need to water them. They're far more stable. They're not fire hazards. No bugs, sap, or pine needles. They don't look real, but they look pretty. I loved helping to decorate ours as a child. We never had a real tree, and I've always praised my parents for being so smart.
lol. The fact that people who don’t understand/appreciate Matt’s humour insist on watching his videos is hilarious. Do you all just enjoy being offended? Merry Christmas 🎄
@@orphanedhanyou Holidays are also for socializing and family fellowship. Even our church has a huge tree in the lobby. It is not about neglecting Christ, it is about real joy (not the Kamala kind). You do you, let us do us. No judging. It is not costing you anything.
I love this comment! My Dad almost cancelled a family vacation over this exact grammatical error. He actually pulled to the side of the road and threatened to cancel the trip if he heard me use this error again.
Ah the Christmas tree memories...rashes on my arms from the pine sap as I helped put it up and decorate it, constant allergies the whole month of December, trying to not knock it down while getting to the water can underneath it, the dog trying to pee on it, vacuuming up dried pine needles, the bugs that came in with it. Good times, good times.
Our Plastic Tree has been in Service for 10 or so years and it definitely is the better option. The tree isn't what matters, the ornaments and the act of setting it up is the "tradition" ...i guess. Anyway my Dad died 3 months ago of Cancer and no one here feels like bothering with this crap right now, so we are skipping the fake Christmas Tree and just buy some shit that we want/need for each other and eat something nice and call it a day.
If you buy a decent fake tree, they look pretty dang real. Just spend a bit more money and you've got a quality artificial tree that you can use for many years. No need to kill a real tree. Also, to avoid electrical risk, use LED lights. They give off no heat and are quite safe. Basically what I'm saying is, you can pry my Christmas tree out of my cold, dead hands. 🎄🤣
2:42 I love that I am targeted to get ads for thyroid eye disease medication, which affects 0.002% of the population. Yes, that’s 2/1,000 of 1%. WT Actual F?!?
Then what do we put the Christmas presents under, Matt? The mistletoe? Of course not, that's for kisses! We'd have to put the kisses under something else! You could start a domino chain reaction that could potentially destroy civilization as we know it! I'm not sure you've really thought this through. Maybe it's the eggnog. I'm hoping it's the eggnog. Merry Christmas.
We take our fake tree down on Candlemas. Get out full 40 days of Christmas, and it's fantastic. It doesn't look real because it looks better than most real trees. And it smells like a read tree because we spray it with balsam spray 😂
Oh the joys of being a country bumpkin, where the tree is free out my own backyard, and when Christmas is done it goes into the woodchipper, to become mulch for the gardens.
Now, don't you feel better about getting that off your chest before you put down $100 for a Christmas tree? Yeah well, we're sticking with our nice fake tree. Merry Christmas!
HOW can you hate Christmas trees!!!!!!?????? All your complaints mean nothing once you get that whole living room GLOW! It is all worth it! 🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas, Matt!
I got the same impression after watching this video especially. Traditions and holidays are what oftentimes keeps families together. So no, there is no better way to spend your time than decorating the tree with your children.
@@olgaanisimova6916I loved decorating our tree with my mom every year. It was our Black Friday tradition instead of shopping, I like Matt but I think he genuinely enjoys being grumpy about everything

We drive about 35 minutes into the mountains with about 4 cars of family friends. The permit is $10 a tree. The kids sled, four or us enjoy the annual celebration of the cigar. Stew is heating up over the fire in a Dutch oven while the women huddle around the fire. Hands down one of the highlights of the year. Then we celebrate it more by cutting off small rings from the tree and make an ornament from it. Marking the year and the location of the tree. Sorry to hear about your take on the tree.
Christmastide begins the day after Thanksgiving, Mr. Scrooge! It's not a burden. You buy your tree after Thanksgiving and decorate it throughout December with ornaments that you have collected over the years, making new memories and recalling old ones. I've never experienced any of the troubles that you've described. P.S. The twelve days of Christmas start on Christmas Day.
@@JoXcalibur Right there with you. Always heard stories of WW2 soldiers on opposing sides singing carols together on Christmas. Our house was kind of like that. Hope you and yours are enjoying your holiday!
I would expect a Ben Shapiro employee to bravely come out against Christmas trees. Remember guys, wearing a weird little hat all the time is A-OK but fake Christmas trees are CRINGE!
Ive read very old fairy tales and youll find that this practice is indeed traditionsl for 100s of years. They actually would light it with little lanterns if they could and theyd put real food on the tree, treats, apples, etc
You’d be the first person to criticise a parent for depriving kids of a Christmas tree at Christmas only to spend the money on alcohol for themselves, and rightly so. There is simply no pleasing you.
I have to agree that I really don't enjoy all the work involved with Christmas. I just want some quietness and to be left alone. Everyone tries to make me feel bad about it which makes it worse.
I think we hit 60 and say....nope! I stopped putting one up last year, I just don't have the energy anymore to climb those attic stairs and then come back home on the 2nd and undo that sucker!

We're months shy of 50 and are right there with you, lol. We bought a blow up, light up puppy for the front yard, and our grandchildren ADORE it. $14.88 at Walmart, easiest, happiest 'decorating' ever! Have a Merry Christmas! ❤
I completely agree with you and have preached this for years. Which is why I eventually bought an artificial tree, primarily for the aesthetics and to keep everyone happy about at least having the symbol. Plus it's a one-and-done cost. But to me it's a stupid practice and if society put as much effort into the forest as they do these tree farms we'd have a lush planet again, especially considering trees are essential because they're the lungs of the planet. Any more the cost of a tree is almost as much as the cost of a gift it's ridiculously priced.
Always use fake tree. I don't need it to look exactly like a real tree. Its only a decoration. Its fun & pretty, thats why Christmas tree can never be canceled, no matter what u say lol...
LOL. AGREED! I never in my life Considered a real tree. Honestly I never heard of real Xmas trees until I was in my mid 20s and even so it seemed to be something only eccentric rich people did.
I think it’s more the point behind the whole thing. Corporate ppl taking advantage of consumers always finding more ways for us to waste our money rather than using it to pay for bettering ourselves. Stressing so much on the things that have no meaning except it being a trend that some random person started and everyone still follows to this day with no meaning other than the guy probably being a little crazy and then talking it off like it was such a great idea and people dumb enough to buy into it and now the rest of us are stuck continuing said traditions.. 😂
Dear Mr. Walsh, I would be very grateful if you could comment on the incident on the Christmas market in Germany, Madgeburg. It happened yesterday. Because this is such a horrible deed that a syrian man who was suppusedly a doctor in Germany commited.
You really got to look up the history of tree decorating and the persecution of the early Christian Church. Your comment will take on a whole new meaning once you do
The original trees had real fruit and edible deserts on them to be enjoyed after Advent, the tree was a symbol of new life that Christ brought to the world with his arrival. A famine gave the Germans an idea to use ornaments that looked like fruit and various deserts they couldn't have at that time. The star at the top of the tree represented the star the Wiseman followed to the savior. The lights originally were candles and the whole display a celebration of the birth of Christ of course. A blessed Christmas to you all especially the Germans and the pain they are suffering at the hands of adherents to the religion of peace.

We don't have to ask. We know.
CHRISTMAS TREES' LIVES MATTERRR
I was with you all the way to the end, Matt. Better luck next year!
Always use fake tree. I don't need it to look exactly like a real tree. Its only a decoration. Its fun & pretty, thats why Christmas tree can never be canceled, no matter what u say lol...
Thank you.
🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas everyone
5:16 Pfff... electric Christmas tree lights are for Christmas noobs, i.e. non-Germans
I dont understand his hate on fake xmas tree. We use same fake xmas tree for like 20 years. Whats wrong with being fake like santa is real
don't take it so seriously?
The whole tree ritual was a pagan thing that just got included to be "inclusive"
LOL. AGREED! I never in my life Considered a real tree. Honestly I never heard of real Xmas trees until I was in my mid 20s and even so it seemed to be something only eccentric rich people did.
I think it’s more the point behind the whole thing. Corporate ppl taking advantage of consumers always finding more ways for us to waste our money rather than using it to pay for bettering ourselves. Stressing so much on the things that have no meaning except it being a trend that some random person started and everyone still follows to this day with no meaning other than the guy probably being a little crazy and then talking it off like it was such a great idea and people dumb enough to buy into it and now the rest of us are stuck continuing said traditions.. 😂
It is a personal preference, either is ok.
Officially calling Matt, the Grinch right now! 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Dear Mr. Walsh, I would be very grateful if you could comment on the incident on the Christmas market in Germany, Madgeburg. It happened yesterday. Because this is such a horrible deed that a syrian man who was suppusedly a doctor in Germany commited.
This is such a terrible tragedy 😢 Germany's going to have to get tougher on certain things!
I'm pretty sure this video was recorded a while ago. He's taking time off like many content creators are this time of year, to spend with his family.
Well deserved. People have voted for it.
A Syrian man that lived and worked in Germany for over 20 years. Should be interesting to know why he went crazy after a long noble life.
I beg to differ. I I love my fake trees for several reasons.
I propose a compromise in which we decorate living trees or similar flora, outside, without cutting them down.
Litter once the wind blows them off or they start to disintegrate and that will be a problem. Leave trees alone.
Good idea.👍
You really got to look up the history of tree decorating and the persecution of the early Christian Church. Your comment will take on a whole new meaning once you do
this is a trend in germany as well and I like it
Matt Walsh = Grinch 😂
Video summarized: Bah Humbug
Yeah, the spiders that already live inside my house are more than enough, I don’t need spider immigrants on top of that.
4:10 around 75 bucks for a tree!? Christmas trees in California are basically the same price as the fake trees. We can’t catch a break here
Dang bro
The original trees had real fruit and edible deserts on them to be enjoyed after Advent, the tree was a symbol of new life that Christ brought to the world with his arrival. A famine gave the Germans an idea to use ornaments that looked like fruit and various deserts they couldn't have at that time. The star at the top of the tree represented the star the Wiseman followed to the savior. The lights originally were candles and the whole display a celebration of the birth of Christ of course. A blessed Christmas to you all especially the Germans and the pain they are suffering at the hands of adherents to the religion of peace.
Haven't had a tree up for 7 to 8 years now. We put Christmas decorations out on mantle and entry way but that's all.
