up north we would put a tree out on the deck and cover it with lights. since we had over 400 acres of conifers to choose from and we cut it two weeks before christmas and it stayed outside, we weren't that worried about needle spillage.
now we put lights on the palm tree out front. i'm still looking for a rubber cheeseburger to put under the tree...
