Festival of Trees

"Festival of Trees is the name taken by a number of (apparently independent) charity events / organizations that hold annual events around Christmas time to raise money for some local charity (often, but not always, a hospital or more specifically, a children's hospital) These events seem to be becoming more common in North America as of this writing and are centered around the decoration and display of Christmas trees.
