If you want to talk about Christmas trees, perhaps a good discussion would be artifical tree use versus natural tree use. Discuss the pros and cons of each, and decide what people should do.

The Christmas tree is a great topic...there's a lot you could talk about.
For some ideas- especially history and real tree vs. fake tree debates, visit
www.christmastree.org (look under fun stuff)
It's the website of the National Christmas Tree Association.

Talk about how the X-mas tree was around in Babylon (it symbolized some Babylonian god who was reborn around that time) and they used greens (holly and ivy) in Celtic areas and then today's X-mas tree came from Germany.
I also read somewhere that (I think it was in Italy) when somebody built a new house, they'd put an evergreen tree on the roof to stop it from being hit by lightning.
Trees are cool.

you could talk about all the contravercy over calling it a holiday tree instead of a christmas tree, or you could talk about where it originated from, or you could talk about the story behind santa clause.

Research why we put up Xmas trees, where it started, what it symbolizes, etc.
