It won't be long before we get the same old Christmas classics wheeled out from here to 25 December, when they are all suddenly switched off! But this line from Lake's 'I Believe in Father Christmas' got me thinking - that 'Christmas Tree smell' - we don't get that so much any more do we?
Admittedly, modern trees do seem bushier and don't shed needles after a mere week. In many ways I like the newer ones - but, and this may only be of note to older members - they don't smell like they used to...
What was the name of the old types of tree? Are they even available any more or are they just not popular now?
