I recently read an article on the online version of share-christmas.com and it talks about the different traditions at chrismas in every country of the world.Basically what the text says is that christmas trees aren't everywhere.

Now i would like to tell you something about three countries and their christmas tree traditions.In Europe, most people take a tree to symbolize the rebirth of Jesus. The fir tree is being decorated on december the 24th for the holy evening.In Agypt, most people take palm trees to show the life triumphs against the death.The Americans have the same tradition like in Europe, they take also a fir tree and decorate them but sometimes they exaggerate.

To my mind, fir trees will be beautyful if you don't exaggerate with the decoration. Finally, I couldn't imagine to have a palm tree in the house.
