A real Christmas tree may not last long after the holidays, but an artificial one has a lot of good years ahead of it. For instance, I wouldn't be surprised if the one in my parents' house is older than me.
However, not even metal Christmas trees last forever. And while there's nothing wrong with sticking with the traditional green to replace one, there are a lot more options at your disposal.
And lately, a popular choice for this festive decoration is the intriguing, mysterious black tree.
At least, that's what Christmas tree manufacturer Treetopia found when they looked into which color was selling the best in every state.
And for most of the country, the second-most popular choice seems to be either white or silver trees.
If you live in Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Michigan, or Wisconsin, these trees might not be such an uncommon sight for you.
They're certainly eye-catching for the rest of us, though.
For instance, these Gothic decorations are pretty cool looking, but a nightmare before Christmas might feel a little more complete with a duskier tree.
I'm sorry to say that this friendly and not-at-all terrifying face-hugger won't be included, though. Maybe put that on the wish list.
