But will this fit in your living room? And do you just toss it to the curb in January?

My family gets tossed to the curb way before that.

It may be weird, but not unusual. Snyder Memorial Baptist Church of Fayetteville, North Carolina does one of these every year in December. I saw it once. It is quite something. I am guessing some other large membership churches do a living Christmas tree also.

Van Nuys. I first heard of Van Nuys in a... very different context. Apparently, it is larger and more diverse than I first thought.
