Abstract: The artificial Christmas tree 10 has a trunk 12 configured in the form of popular or religious inspired figures. The figures may include a Christian cross, Santa Claus, an angel and a reindeer. The artificial tree 10 is provided with a base 14 to support the trunk 12 and artificial branches 18 that simulate the branches of traditional “real” Christmas trees. The branches 18 and base 14 are removably attached to the trunk 12 to allow for dismantling and storage. The trunk is fabricated from plastic material that is translucent to light. A source of light 16 is disposed inside the trunk to illuminate the trunk. The branches are of different lengths and configurations so that the assembled artificial tree will assume the shape of a traditional tree as much as possible.

Abstract: The artificial Christmas tree has a trunk configured in the form of popular or religious inspired figures, which may include a Christian cross, Santa Claus, an angel, Jesus, holiday signage and a reindeer. The artificial tree is provided with a base to support the trunk and with artificial branches and/or materials that simulate the shape of a Christmas tree. The branches and base are removably attached to the trunk to allow for dismantling and storage. The trunk is fabricated from plastic and/or other material that may be translucent to light. A source of light can be disposed inside the trunk to illuminate the trunk. The branches are of different lengths and configurations so that the assembled artificial tree will assume the shape of a Christmas tree as much as possible.
