Sorry for the noise.... I just want to contribute to the conversation that even things that seem to be obvious like the temporary character of Christmas trees do not have to be true everywhere. Besides the following information might amuse some of the readers. As probably in most places of the christian world Christmas trees are a "temporary feature", but in Nicaragua we have them as a permanent phenomena for over 5 years now in the roundabouts of the capital: http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1911496,00.html This is not just a joke! It actually had a positive effect of recovering public spaces by the people. The illumination of the places led to an increased feeling of security and people like to spend their evenings there (the whole year). It looks like nobody has mapped them so far. We have to change this! :) At least we know now that it has to be mapped as "xmas:feature=tree".
