  • I've never had a Christmas tree myself but in the 40+ years I can remember my parents/father having one I can't remember any fires and I doubt it's the kind of thing one would forget. I can see that a dead tree is likely to be flammable, but unless you're daft enough to hang real candles from the tree, what's the ignition source going to be?

  • We've always had candles on our tree - a remnant of my father's German exchange student experience.

    Never lit obviously, but it does look amazing.
