- If no real tree is available, is it better to use a plastic tree or to have no tree that year? - At what age must a child participate in decorating the Christmas tree? - If two ornaments are connected by a string, does that count as one decoration or two decorations? (2/82349)

- If a child too young to read a clock is deceived by Christmas lights into thinking that dawn has come, and unwraps their present, is it permitted for the parent to rewrap the present in new paper and let the child unwrap it again, or must a new present be purchased? (3/82349)

1) It might vary by area, but Douglas firs, Fraser firs, and Canaan firs are common. 2) The day after Thanksgiving is often an opening day for tree farms 3) No max/min, just get good surface coverage without cluttering it up.
-
Yeah, but what minimum and maximum fraction of the tree may be visible through the ornaments in order to count as "good surface coverage" without "cluttering it up"? This is why Jews don't convert, you know!
-
There can never be too many ornaments. Some trees are made entirely of ornaments glued together. In fact, no one has ever had *enough* ornaments.
-
And that's why parents have to buy presentes instead of Santa , he only visits houses that have trees with enough ornaments.And until we can make molecular ornamets in big enough cuantities that's imposible.

Anything pine or pseudo pine. Basically, pointy trees. In the Antipodes, Pohutukawas, and similar summer flowering trees may be used, especially if live. November, not that it stops the supermarkets. Depends of the family, but somewhere between "Tasteless" and MOAR DAKKA"

- any tree is fine as long as it has needles no longer than 3 finger lengths on average - 2 lunar month if you’re outside of Babylon, 1 otherwise - 3-7 decorations per family member, family member being defined by the same laws as the 30 day mourning period

#hilchoschristmas. If the tree collapses due to weight of decorations before dinner, you must redecorate; during dinner, you're yotzei.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I like having an actual tree in my house and wish this were more acceptable year round.

1. Anything that resembles a pine tree. 2. Any time after Thanksgiving is acceptable. Before Halloween is ridiculous but still counts. 3. At least put a star on top. There is no maximum.

Anecdotal evidence: we used a palm tree, and everyone I knew had a fake tree or used whatever plant they had in their house. Coolest I remember was a Christmas pineapple tree. Pines are rare were I grew up.

In Finland: only spruce. It's called christmas spruce. Christmas spruce is brought inside early Christmas eve morning. Minimum amount of decorations is too much.

Unless you're joking, it sounds as though you're expecting other religions to have a "federal tax code"-style body of regulations like Judaism, with rabbi/God as clever accountant/auditor or lawyer/judge. As an ex-Christian I assure you their rules could be written on a postcard

-Anything evergreen? -Never -Most if it is about getting an even distribution. Somewhere around half the green should be covered, I'd say. At least one-fifth and no more than four-fifths?
