Christmas trees

When Christmas season is close in many houses around the world Christmas trees appear. Children and adults enjoy decorating the tree with different and varied decorative elements. Typical and traditional Christmas trees are from the coniferous group such as firs and pines.
The decorations used on Christmas trees are very varied. The most classic are Christmas balls, stars, ribbons, garlands and other small figurines. Electric garlands made by small blinking lights are also very popular. These lights are inspired by candles that were traditionally used as decoration. At the top of the tree often is placed a star symbolizing the star of Bethlehem.
Families who live in houses that have garden decorate a fir or other tree in the garden. Those who live in apartments tend to decorate small natural fir planted in a pot. In recent years artificial Christmas trees made of plastic have become popular. These trees consist of different pieces which are assembled for Christmas and removed when holidays are finished and stored in a box the rest of the year.
