5 MOST AMAZING CHRISTMAST TREES

 The World's Largest Living Christmas Tree is in Wilmington, NC. The tree is a massive oak tree covered with Spanish moss, and is believed to be more than 400 years old. It was first lit in 1928 with over 500 multicolored lights, and is now covered with 5,250 colored bulbs.

The tree is a living oak that stood more than 70 or 75 feet high and more than 110 feet wide when it was first selected. Eighty years of ice storms have taken their toll, though, and its dimensions are now closer to about 50 feet by 110 feet.

 A French chocolatier has created a 32-foot-high chocolate Christmas tree in his laboratory in Paris. Patrick Rogers' creation will be used to raise funds for a television charity event to support research into neuromuscular diseases. The tree, which is currently towering inside the chocolatier's factory in Sceaux, weighs four tons and, according to Mr Rogers, is a piece of "architecture." He said, “To achieve this kind of architecture – because this really is a piece of architecture – we used a sort of cavity inside to make the chocolate solid enough, because there is very strong vertical pressure." The chocolate Christmas tree will be shown on France's Telethon, a nationwide charity appeal show, and viewers will receive part of the sugary sculpture in exchange for a donation.

 A Charlotte holiday tradition will continue for its 58th year on Dec. 8 and 9. The Singing Christmas Tree was started in 1953 as a group of singers performing on the steps of a funeral home in Charlotte, according to associate executive director Bev Seitz.

 In 2012, Asia's first LEGOLAND Park got in the holiday spirit with Asia's tallest LEGO Christmas tree. The park unveiled this nine meter creation at a special lighting ceremony complete with Christmas carols by the Calvary Teenage Girls Home from Johor Bharu.

It is further decorated with over 260 LEGO ornaments and will be up on display until early January 2013.
