is lit by the President every year in a special ceremony.

The other famous American Christmas tree js the one set up every year at Rockefeller Center in New York City. This tree is always magnificently decorated with different and unusual types of ornaments and lighting effects, making its displays unforgettable. It is estimated to have more visitors a year than any other Christmas tree in the world.

Perhaps the greatest problem today with Christmas trees is their tendency to dry out and shed their needles in our overheated houses.

We must never forget that the evergreen is a highly flammable object, especially after it has been inside a few days. For this reason never leave the tree lights on when you are not in the room to enjoy them. Don’t place the tree where a chance spark from the fireplace may reach it. Try to get a holder for the tree that has a bowl attached to it so you can keep the tree in water.

Finally, wait as near as possible to Christmas Eve before bringing the tree into the house and setting it up. Leaving it outside in a cool place will keep it from drying out quite to quickly.
