* I'm not saying that only means poor could or should sell pine cones just saying like idk was trying to find a thing that might help people who are struggling. These things fall off trees all the time. When I was a kid we used to decorate it with paint or glitter and use it as a Manger scene decoration, a lot of other people use them in making wreaths, I'm sure there's probably tons of other holiday decorations or arts and crafts things with it. There's probably some use for them for Halloween even. Maybe they paint them orange?
