Treevenge details the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn’t the exciting “peace on earth” that is experienced by most.

But this Christmas will be different, this Christmas the trees have had enough, this Christmas the trees will fight back.
