I grew up with a Christmas tree, I'm going to stay with a Christmas tree,

Christmas tree farmers, like virtually all other professional farmers, use agricultural chemicals in a careful and prudent manner and Christmas tree recycling has become the norm in virtually all American communities.

There is something unique about a tree in the center of a downtown that gives it a Christmas atmosphere.

They love our Christmas tree. And they understand all the symbolism connected to Christmas. But they all also know they are Jewish, even though Daddy isn't.

We kept the tree up for him, but I had my boys take it out back. Christmas is over. He died fighting for somebody's freedom he didn't even know.

Wanda came bringing in a six-foot live Christmas tree for us and it was already decorated. That was a blessing to us. We just thank God every day for bringing us through the storm and we thank Him for everyone who has given us clothes, food, support and prayers. One day, we'll go back to New Orleans and repair our house. It's home, but living here is the next best thing.
