Or they've decided not to find out. I can't wait till the baby arrives!

Crown Princess Victoria has received the four Christmas trees for the Royal Palace today, December 15:

Perhaps the Swedes know how they like to celebrate christmas including the size of the trees according to their traditions (including the placement of the trees). Comments like the one above shows such a lack of understanding that americans do not set the standard for other cultures and traditions.Are they joking with those trees? I guess if you're into the Charlie Brown look they're OK, but hardly what I would expect for a Royal Palace.

I cut our fresh trees in the forest and they are not the groomed and perfectly manicured tree lot tree. And an artificial tree will never be displayed in my home.Now you all have piqued my interest...my original post was partially tongue-in-cheek, but I have to admit ... I am an American born and raised, and I would never set out to obtain a Christmas tree that looks anything like those presented to CP Victoria this year.
Cultural bias, it must be...I have traveled in Europe but not at the holidays so I have no point of reference there. My own Christmas tree is an 8 foot noble fir that comes out of the box and is set up every year the weekend after Thanksgiving. It does look practically perfect in every way.
Do most Europeans get live/real Christmas trees? Do you not care if they look scrawny? These questions are posed with all sincerity; of course I know the real meaning of Christmas and the quality of the tree does not figure into it. I consider myself an open-minded person but apparently not with regard to this subject! Thank you and sorry to steer a current events thread a bit off topic.
