Who decided Christmas was disposable?

I mean, Christmas trees I understand. Most of them are cut when you buy them, so they have a limited shelf life and must be disposed of eventually. But tree stands? And lights? People, if you're too lazy to walk around your tree a few times and unwrap the strand of lights you hung up there a few weeks ago, you've got a problem. And it's not just that you're wasting money.
