Countdown to Christmas - Day 12

Day 12. What if I can't wait? What if I explode with excitement?!

What will we have today? Will it be an animal or a person or an object?

A tree!! Firmly in the object category though a living one. At least once upon a time. I wonder if it's planted or in a pot or cut and standing in water... I hope Nelson doesn't start throwing snowballs at this, he could displace the star....
