<p>Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,<br />
How green were once your branches<br />
Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,<br />
How yellow now your branches<br />
We think it&#8217;s something in the air,<br />
But ozone? Sulfur? And from where?<br />
Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,<br />
How brown are now your branches</p>
<p>Remember acid rain? Now it&#8217;s more insects, at least in our area. Global change?</p>
