As an ex-Jew, I have a lot of questions about Christmas, like: - What are the permitted species for a Christmas tree? - How long before Christmas can you purchase a tree before it stops being a “Christmas tree”? - What are the minimum and maximum number of decorations? (1/82349)

- 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)

- plastic trees are best - whenever they want to help. - It just means they got tangled up. This is normal. All decorations always get tangled up.

Plastic is ubiquitous, though I guess colder climes might be different. 40 Degrees Celsius is not great for sub-arctic foliage. As soon as they wont eat the tinsel one, see the "MOAR DAKKA" school of decorating.

When I went home for Christmas one year, I discovered my dad had drawn a Christmas tree in crayon and taped it to the wall. Presents were underneath it. He kept cackling while the rest of us acted like nothing was unusual. He's Catholic.

Kids own the tree. The experienced parent will employ subtle tricks to enforce basic taste without getting in the way of the kids' creativity.

Another strategy is to have a mini tree just for the kids to decorate as they see fit, in addition to the main big, boring tree set up conservatively by grown-ups.

-You should draw one with charcoal while thinking about what a bad boy/girl you've been. -As soon as you learn to manipulate objects. Aesthetic sensibility is not a requirement for most Christmas decoration. -That's all dependent on the length of the string.

-Plastic is acceptable, but some people are snooty. If you legitimately can't get a real tree, you still need a tree, so plastic works. -Maybe around the time they're starting to appreciate their gifts, or when they start school. -Two.
