Well it is only five sleeps to Christmas, and the centre of attention of most households is now the humble Christmas tree, or is it the presents beneath.
This is quite common though with little ones around the world.
While Australia has followed very closely the European traditions, many Australian plants will make a beautiful hardy Christmas tree.
Over recent years many Australian native plants have become very popular replacements for the traditional pines and firs as Christmas trees
But for now some of the most popular Australian Christmas trees being used are the Norfolk Pine or Araucaria excelsa, the Lilly Pilly hybrid called Bush Christmas, She oaks like Casuarina cunninghamiana and the Black Cypress or Callitris endlicheri.
