My Christmas Tree Tried to Grow

Light green new growth sprouted on the sunny side of the tree.

New cones were forming.

I'm not sure what these dangling growths are but they weren't there when I put the tree up.
As I took my black spruce tree down this weekend I noticed it had dropped only a handful of needles.  As I took the decorations off I noticed new growth on the side of the tree that was closest to the sunny southern window.  My tree, in a desperate attempt to live, had tried to grow in the Christmas tree stand.
