New Year Tree

Where did you get your tree from this year?
Perhaps an artificial one from shop or from the attic, like us. Maybe you decorated a real one, from a street seller or the forest (if you were naughty... no presents from Santa for you then).
In the Russian village of Spasskoe, they went one better...
Their municipal New Year tree came from the local cemetary.[1, 2]

Grave matters indeed. No secret plot... just councillors who decided to kill two birds with one stone and solve the problem of a tree in the graveyeard blocking out the sun and the need for a town tree. They were glad to have saved some money.
 
Wherever your tree came from, Happy New Year!
