christmas trees

Decisions, decisions. There are so many that come with a Christmas celebration.

Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City’s Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.

A trip to find a Christmas tree turned into a potential disaster for young Peyton Myrick. The two-year-old's grandfather had taken the boy to find the perfect tree on a 300 acre plot of family land in Clover, South Carolina when they got separated and, suddenly, Peyton was nowhere to be found.

Its official, I’ve chopped down two Christmas trees this year. One for my family on black Friday, and the other just yesterday when I helped my girlfriend pick out her Christmas tree. I love real trees over plastic, and I love the smell of pine. We usually decorate it with colored lights, bulbs, and our decorations from when we grew up. But some people out there may judge you on how your tree look

It’s perfectly normal to mark the holidays with a decoration or two. But the Rieken family in Texas takes their celebration of the season to the extreme by cramming over 200 trees into their home. Clark Griswold of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ fame would be proud!

We’ve had our family Christmas tree up since black Friday. My Dad and I went out and chopped one down, and that Saturday we decorated it. We never really liked the idea of a fake Christmas tree, so we always go real. But the one problem is that all those trees get killed in the process.
