So Many Choices, I Need More Than One Christmas Tree
What are the top christmas tree choices?
If you have more than one room, you can have more than one tree. Just think small. Tabletop trees and little decorative trees from Craft Supply Stores are a way to add festivity to small spaces.Let's first choose the type of tree to decorate.
Living Trees are those you will plant in the ground after they have served as an indoor Christmas tree for a short period.

- Canaan Fir, (Abies balsamea)
- Scots Pine, (Pinus sylvestris)
- Douglas Fir,(Pseudotsuga menziesii )

Artificial trees are man made trees that either look lifelike, or are obviously fake.
Artificial Tree Choices

Cut Tree Choices

A variation of the cut trees are to to visit a Christmas tree farm, or similar source, and cut your own. Our family did that for several years, and it can be a fun experience! I recommend it if you don't mind a little work and a little cold.
