Voiceover: Have you ever wondered what happens to a Christmas tree after it falls from its fifteen minutes of fame?
Some willingly donate themselves to mulcherys and thus become part of the essence of the next generations. Others fight the depression and lay around in squalor till one day, not being able to take it anymore, they are consumed in flames.

This is the story of Edwin, a once proud balsam pine. He was chosen by a family, to be their tannenbaum for the season. He was brought into a wonderful warm home. He was lavishily and lovingly decorated with baubles and lights, garlands and tinsels. He twinkled and glowed. He stood a beautiful symbol of the season. He adored being adored.

Then one day, all his decorations were removed. He was plucked from his stately perch in the center of the living room and cast outside, into the cold. Nobody looked at him anymore. No one even glanced his way. After about two months time, he had dehydrated to an appearance completely unresembling what he had looked like, at a happier time in his life.

One day he was picked up by a guy, and cast into the flames of a great fire. His great spirit, still trapped within the dried branches and browned needles, rose with an intense flare of heat and light, high into the sky. Then he slowly dissipated into the atmosphere. All that remained were scant smouldering ashes. His spirit felt released. Free to redistribute itself, particle by particle back into the world. It was then that he realised energy cannot be created or destroyed, thus he would live on forever.

This tale is brought to you by _jBri Productions. It stars Paul the pine as Tannenbaum, with costar Fred "Huge Flame" Cinders as The Fire. With a special guest appearance by Mr_johnnya as The Guy. Filmed by Miss Brianna on location in Massachusetts.
