The Swiss have Christmas trees just like those in the USA but not 
decorated as early. They just began to sell them this week. A survey 
gives some interesting information.

46% of homes will have some sort of cut tree such as Scotch Pine, Blue 
Spruce, etc.
2 %  of homes will have a living tree in a pot. We have one of those, 
but I didn't realize that we were in such a minority.
16% will have an artificial tree.
28% will be Scrooges and have no tree.
8 % will have some other type of tree or decoration.

Here's hoping that we will have a white Christmas!
