If, for whatever reason, somebody has an old X-mas tree in their possession, should they burn it?
no. it’s not safe and it has no religious significance
Throw it out, do not burn it because playing with fire can be dangerous too many jews have turned up in the burn unit because of carelessness with fire
Def talk to a rav but it may not be a chiyuv as, although the origin of the minhag for the tree comes from avodah zarah, in most western countries today the tree itself actually worshiped.
My father (may he do tshuva) has many avodah zarah statues and the like he has bought on trips to the far east. I asked a shaila once on whether I should destroy them or not and was told that since they were sold as souvenirs it shows they didn’t have chashivus to the goyim selling them as mamish an avodah zarah. However the rav I asked was not an official posek so take it for what it’s worth.
Im not sure its correct to speak loshon harah about ones parents
Are you sure it’s lashon hara?
