Christmas trees

Christmas trees are special trees that are often put up in homes during the Christmas season. They are usually decorated with colorful lights, ornaments, and tinsel. They are most often found in living rooms, near the front window, or in the corner of the room. An example of a Christmas tree might look like this: a tall, evergreen tree with bright lights, colorful ornaments, and a star on top. In the United States, over 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year. That’s about 1 for every 3 homes! An analogy for Christmas trees is like a birthday cake for Christmas. You decorate it to make it look special and festive for the season. Fun fact: The tallest Christmas tree ever was a 221-foot Douglas fir in 1950!
