Christmas tree
Decorated holiday fir
A Christmas tree is an evergreen tree, real or artificial, decorated with lights and ornaments as part of Christmas celebrations.
Families traditionally set one up indoors in December: We put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.
The practice originated in Germany and spread throughout the Western world.
In oilfield terminology, a Christmas tree is the assembly of valves and fittings at the top of a well that controls flow.
