Front Porch Tree

Maybe. Just maybe Santa will bring DOUBLE the presents if you have a Christmas tree inside AND a Christmas tree outside. Consider having a faux tree inside and have the REAL tree outside on the porch. More family time going out to a Christmas tree farm, picking out that special tree, and putting it on your front porch! At least there won't be any needles inside!
