Christmas trees? They can be anything, and look like anything, pretty much.
These stately symbols of the season are often real and redolent of fresh pine. They can also be made of aluminum, a sort of space-age specimen that possesses saturated color and plenty of shiny pizzazz.
And finding a Christmas tree created from wood blocks, paper flowers, or just lights and little else? These fabulous firs also exist in our whimsy-loving world.

But if you're seeking a stack of sturdy, truck-ready tires, the kind of pillar that, when painted, forms a homespun, out-on-the-ranch Christmas tree, you'll want to trot for Underwood Family Farms and its annual holiday celebration.
The Moorpark destination, a spot known for its big fall festival and year-round you-pick produce selection, presents "Christmas on the Farm" over a few fall weeks each year, and a little bit of wintertime, too.
The annual happening gets mooing, er, moving Nov. 29.
