do you know that 77 percent. are younger than 60. that's me and me and you. and you know what time no voice is part. of the 77 the same speech obama beat you sure. this is where you cut the 77 percent this weekend on d w. the food. movement. for most germans christmas just wouldn't be christmas without a tree whether they chop it down themselves as one ready concept of is a must treat farmers are happy either way is just one thing they construct. artificial trees are disastrous for him back a good 140 hectares of forest in this. that surrounds $200.00 football fields full

of christmas trees so finding just the right one is a big challenge for the sham family. about the song. it's about time we were back thanking them here there's been no matter what and here there are tons of trees. cloudy and all of a sham a searching for a tree with her sons phil and tonics and let's work. others have already found their tree. looking for something smaller while the boys are more concerned with who gets to carry the saw their mum cloudier tells us what she looks for in a tree. it can be a little crooked when it doesn't have to be perfectly straight and i like it when it's quite broad at the bottom and you can hang a lot of decorations on it much. better

a wider tree than i told narrow one. but we must be able to transport it to be taken out one when i have to put it on top of the car because we won't get inside ok we can make 2 trees out of it. with that one and i have one other is right i can imagine chris. rock that after i said i was going to say when i was a child we always had a tree and i couldn't imagine it any other way without a tree it just wouldn't be christmas for me that's what's most important for me having a tree with just me. got a nice tree. that's just the right size you can stand beside it roughly yeah i'm a bit over one half metres. this is no place for families who take their

time looking for a tree here lumberjacks cut down trees in a matter of seconds since the start of november they've been hard at work here and have felled tens of thousands of trees. vilhelm back a good isn't willing to reveal exactly how many. can you stand to look at a christmas tree at home. yeah i christmas it's ok again after unwind a bit 1st. he receives orders from all over europe the market for christmas trees is relatively stable and so are the prices people always want to treat to put the presents under. which one is best which would you tell. very says that it's hard to say what's best. depends on the size but this one is good but not too wide it's dense right to the top and looks very good which is the goal

we set ourselves and we're going to have as many talk like this as possible. thinking. so many in fact that his family can live from ground christmas trees all year round the trees create for the entire region including full freight of a phone camera and his team if you can find fleet of a human forest around he says that he loves trees but even he can only see so many of them. and we don't even look at a christmas tree in there i didn't know when i went out one after christmas if you're ahead of the many as i do. and i was. i have 2 little kids and they want one so i do for them not for me by christmas i've had enough of trees. but this to me put about that and they're sure it's nice which one there. is no one on which was 100 front underneath not of his missing

a lot of needles on the rights and you could put it against the wall you know we can go over there i'm glad it was so interest rate the sham family are still searching for that tree. kind of treat you like. we're not really sure what should have. i got to talk not too small just right for a living room or go through the human down once i'm up. and walk if i want it. first mr tree ornaments strings of lights and lots of other decorations. you both reach for do you like this one here or your. tree after tree is being felled all around them the family has split up in their search for the perfect tree but now they have lost down. its striking mine i hope not though he's been gone so long you might think so he's getting gloves when he's found the perfect tree or that but i've got the start.

drinking mulled wine spiced red wine is another german christmas tradition apart from trees the back of good as farm offers all manner of things for the festive season you know you can last after people have found their tree they take it home to decorate it and if that's your tobacco gooders speciality. december i thought that we had that in 2 sizes but i'm not sure what your money via yet going now that's the smaller one. so how does your to decorate her tree. which will last a christmas tree balls and then with things the children made themselves in the ornaments they made in nursery school when they were small lots of different things . but. what about that one. most of you haven't even looked

at it come on let's try to get in there. cloudier sham has found the perfect tree this is a bit larger than the one metre 51 metre 60 we thought of but you could start off a bit at the top not over there you can't cut the top off. the rest of us tell you that you know what i like about it is used to the top is the big chris good. i'm a crook at all nor the children can't wait to open their presents under it's. only the living room is almost always dark in that one so much but it's still great because of all the lights and decorations on the christmas tree and just look on the wind there. and that's. really meanwhile vilhelm back a good talks to marco's tuchman who's come to the farm to pick up a load of trees they're destined to make many families christmas mariette. but there's marco put up a tree himself you're looking campbell you don't have

a tree what nonsense is that you don't have to take part in every silly thing someone's come up with. says i drive a christmas tree. we don't only transport christmas trees most of our business is construction materials. if you like i said the tradition dates back from the 18th century but you don't have to follow it. this was not the easiest didn't have a christmas tree. i know he didn't wanted one. luckily vilhelm that it couldn't be missed that little exchange he's too busy loading trees on to trucks like he's been doing since 6 o'clock this morning the last truck should arrive sometime this evening. he thought. this note is headed for the baltic sea coast. treaties from those all and end

up all over germany and even in some neighboring countries. that although not always here is 1100 trees because there are a lot of smaller ones you can see that there are sometimes 120 trees on a scale other times just 50 or. 100 year one for the customer. and so i don't know the day after. this. we found something no really good 3 people say yeah we just need your blessing in which 100 is show you dad the tree. you know. there that one it's nice. it's a bit over one and a half metres but we can cut it down a little bit of thing was still the right. one for

a start cutting its feet enough. to have. a. joint augmenting that's a man's job but at 3 men like me it's a lot that's all fashioned when it comes to that i'm old fashioned. speaking about modi traditions in this era of climate change is it still acceptable to cut down a tree just to decorate your living room for a few days. i might well see here that's ok look at it the other way around and if there were no demand these trees wouldn't exist not so you can do this once a year with a clear conscience i mean after some even argue that christmas trees actually benefit the climate and future generations that's because during their lifetime the

trees capture lots of c o 2 and produce oxygen. when they're around 12 years old they're ready to become christmas trees. stop motion is all but the true simple it's of him he'd rather keep selling it by hand that's ok we have time. though choosing a tree isn't such a pleasant experience for every family. man comes alone and says and him about my wife said and then it's the woman's fault. then i say i mean next time bring your wife with you and there's trouble. right away sometimes they need to think it over and come back. as i'm twice it's happened. hold. your life brother take another one but she's just joking the shams have bantry it's a north man fan which has soft needles that prickly it's the most popular kind of

christmas tree in europe. that's before i may go 1st. now it just has to be wrapped and paid for all this year bias can expect to shine out 16 euros per meter for the battery. who. make up a loaf perfect thanks. though you decided it's the wrong one i'll take another one for the function i'm a bit odd a little strange i have to go back again it always makes change possible that i've always had the trees been shot down but if i did i would gladly exchange it for this family but normally the rule is a good shop that you buy it off the ball more to get off the dog right now. and by the way did now they just need to wait for santa to put some presents hunter the trick.
