christmas tree

There's nothing like having a real Christmas tree in your home. I set up my artificial tree last week -- and today it's coming down, to be replaced by a real one. Artificial was convenient, but I have missed the smell, tradition, (and needles on the floor). Here's how to keep the real ones green longer.

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.

This 30-foot Christmas tree stands in Toronto's Union Station, and the lights are powered by social media. The creators of the Christmas Spirit Tree are calling it "the first Christmas tree powered by Christmas spirit". Super cool - check it out!!!!

Decorating for the holidays can be hard work, especially preparing the tree. My standard six foot tall fake tree at home took me two hours to set up and decorate, so can you imagine the amount of time and effort that goes into creating the famous spectacle that is the 74 foot Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center? Take a look at this video and you'll know.

Pine needles driving you crazy yet? Here's the info you need to recycle your Christmas tree.
