Christmas Tree Choices -- Best Trees to Decorate

By , About.com Guide

Although most people will always opt for the traditional looking Christmas tree to display their holiday ornaments, when it's time to look for a new or additional tree -- you might be surprised at all the choices available. And if you're an ornament collector, there are trees to stay away from and trees that will really highlight your collection. It can get pretty confusing. Gone are the days when you picked a tree by size. Now the decision is what species of tree, lit or unlit, bottle brush or hyper-realistic and size. Or you might opt to go the way of the blatantly artificial trees, such as the tinsel tree, black tree or even the wild looking bubble tree!

Since I've been all over the Christmas Tree for Me web site in my quest for a new tree, I decided to chat with Bill Quinn, president of the company, and find out more about the differences in trees, what's hot in Christmas trees and just how that bubble tree works!
