THE TEASER

I have, in a sense, everlasting life.
My brothers grow old and brittle while I stay ripe.
I am greatly appreciated and adorned with jewels,
and my head has a crown, it's beautiful.
For most of my life I have braved cold, or heat,
but where I am taken it's always warm,
But my fame cannot last.
The jewels are taken off, along with my crown, 
and I am shunned until my successor arrives
in one year.

THE SOLUTION

I am a Christmas tree! In all seasons the evergreen stays ripe, while other trees lose leaves. The jewels and crown are ornaments and the star. All too soon it seems the tree has to come down, until the next year when you get a new one!
