Christmas Trees a History:
It was Saint Boniface in trying to convert the pagan Germanic tribes to Christianity that took a fir tree and gave it new meaning saying. This humble trees wood is used to build your homes, let Christ be at the center of your households. Its leaves remain evergreen in the darkest days, let Christ be your constant light. Its boughs reach out to embrace and its top points to heaven, let Christ be your Comfort and Guide. People from all walks of life are able to look at the Christmas tree and think of Christ and his gifts to all of us. Go here to view more Christmas Decorations Ideas.

Artificial Christmas Trees:
People have been looking for ways to mimic nature without chopping down all of her trees. Today most artificial trees are made from PVC and or PE, these are referred to as plastic trees. Manufactures of artificial Christmas trees like to use names of real trees when trying to describe their tree, but since most manufactures do not want to use the same name that a competitor is using they will use a different name for the same type of tree. There are even more Artificial Prelit Christmas Trees here.

Environmental Issues:
Many people prefer an artificial tree which will last well over ten years to cutting down a real oxygen producing tree every year. While some fear that artificial trees are bad for the environment because they end up in landfills. But today there are ways of breaking down the PVC and PE and companies are always working on better and more cost effective ways of doing this to recycle these products.
