Description

During the holiday season, thousands of South Dakotans will continue the tradition of decorating a real Christmas tree. Gifts displayed beneath a fresh, fragrant, well-lit tree are a key part of many holiday memories. Sometimes people decide not to have a real Christmas tree and purchase an artificial tree instead. Often this is done because of a concern about fire safety. Real Christmas trees are not the fire risk that many believe.
