So This Christmas tree thing is kinda crazy. The story is this article that I read And curbed.

Basically, it's talking about the brutal mafia style business of Christmas tree sales in New York. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I could be what I want to And I'm just gonna read you a paragraph here that just captures it. It goes Christmas trees are a big business in New York. A lot of people see the quaint little shacks that appear on the side of the road just before Thanksgiving. With a bunch of trees, and you think, oh, these are probably independently owned, maybe by jolly families of lumberjacks looking to make a few holiday bucks. That's what I thought, anyways.

In reality, a few eccentric, obsessed, and sometimes ruthless tycoons control the sale of almost every tree in the city. They call themselves tree men and they spend eleven months a year preparing for Christmas time, which to them is a thirty day sprint to grab as much cash as they can. I'm in. This needs to be a Netflix show. Yeah, and is this the one about this guy named Scott? Well, there's a bunch of guys. So it talks about like the different guys'cause they basically carved up the territory. It's like you got Harlem, this one guy gets Manhattan, this other guy's got the east side, and they all have different territories and they all have crazy names. So it's like George Nash and Kevin Hammer. And it's like, oh yeah, Nash got Harlem. He's a smooth talking hippie from F Vermont.
