Christmas Trees

Some decorations are meant for the back of the tree.

Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City’s Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.

It's perfectly normal to mark the holidays with a decoration or two. But the Rieken family in Texas takes their celebration of the season to the extreme by cramming over 200 trees into their home. Clark Griswold of 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' fame would be proud!

Where you can find a smoke-spewing, Santa hat-wearing Christmas tree in the shape of Godzilla? In Japan, of course, at the Aqua City Odaiba shopping mall. Check out this monstrosity below as he prepares to stomp all over your holiday.

A herd of deer has ruined Christmas for a farm in Iowa by eating almost its entire crop of Christmas trees. The Grinch has nothing on these animals.

While Legos usually pop up under Christmas trees during the holiday season, visitors to London's St. Pancras Station can actually find themselves under a Christmas tree made of the colorful blocks.

In Auckland, New Zealand, a helicopter became entangled in wires and crashed while installing a Christmas tree on the local waterfront. That's a sure-fire way to dampen your holiday spirit.
