They Bought A 20ft Christmas Tree, And Found A Brilliant Way How To Fit It Inside

This year, Twitter user @aidanswalt decided to up his Christmas tree game so he got himself a 20 ft one. The only problem – it didn’t fit inside his living room…

His idea was simple, yet brilliant: they cut it in half and strapped the top part to the roof, giving it the desired “through the roof” effect. This creative solution instantly went viral and has already been retweeted more than 40,000 times. Lets just hope that Santa won’t get confused and leave all the presents on the roof. If you’d like more creative Christmas trees, check out this list that we’ve compiled earlier.

I don't like the idea of cutting a tree. People should use artificial trees because we need more green these days.

Don't worry, pretty much 99% of Christmas trees are taken from these tree type farms, not chopped down in the woods. Also plastic = waste

Maybe where you live. Where I live there are literally millions of 'em, and when you cut one down that means there's more light available to help another one grow in its place. No net loss over time.

Christmas trees are a renewable resource. It's little different than Brussels sprouts or onions or other plant matter that we plant and consume. Trees take longer to grow, but most Christmas trees are grown in special nurseries for the purpose of selling them. They wouldn't grow in the wild anyway in most cases. It's similar to planting a flower or vegetable garden. That being said, *I* use an artificial tree because it's reusable and doesn't have to be cleaned up after or thrown away (easier for me).

This reminds me of 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. That scene when the father unties the branches was so funny! Fortunately this couple had a much better idea that Mr. Griswold.
