Hurricane Helene Affects Christmas Tree Supply

The holiday season is approaching, but Christmas tree supplies in Alabama may be affected due to damage from Hurricane Helene, which devastated North Carolina's tree farms. Tree vendors are facing increased costs and logistical challenges as they work long hours to transport trees amidst fallen debris. Meanwhile, in the UK, social media users are mocking some poorly received Christmas trees, including one at London’s Euston Station that many described as 'depressing' and 'anti-Christmas'. Other trees have also garnered negative comments for their unattractive designs. Additionally, in Salisbury, police are investigating the theft of several Christmas trees taken by a driver in a white van. In Lincolnshire, a newly installed Christmas tree was vandalized just a day after its setup, further dampening the festive spirit.
