Thanks for this, BoingBoing. Definitely takes the cake as one of the top five most fucked up things I've seen on the internet. Watch the couple's hands at 0:28.
Well, now I'm off to the pub for a few round and to scrub my eyes with bleach.
It's a fake tree. The whole reason they got that tree is because it was real, %100 evergreen. Now they're selling a fake one. On top of that they're selling a fake one. The whole special was 22 minutes of anti-commercialism and emphasis on the spirit instead of the physical. It's like a return to the Ranken-Bass days of "What's a Christmas tree without tinsel and pretty silver and gold decorations?" under the guise of Peanuts.
I, for one, will NEVER buy a "real" christmas tree. Who want's to deal with the hassle of watering it, cleaning up the needles, etc., when a fake tree will often look prettier, be cheaper, and is reusable.

I have nothing.

I don't think they watched the source material.
