Typically Canadian households have a fir or pine Christmas tree since the Eastern Canadian region of Nova Scotia is known throughout the world for its Christmas trees. Due to the aid offered after the Halifax Explosion, one Canadian tradition is sending their largest, best fir tree (produced in Nova Scotia) to Boston, Massachusetts.
The Nova Scotian Christmas Tree is always a favorite among Bostonians. This tree is throughout the city and then lit during a function to kick off Christmas. This practice has been followed for many years.
