BERLIN, GERMANY - DECEMBER 11: A Christmas tree seller carries a sold tree on December 11, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. According to the German timber industry association, Germans are expected to purchase about 29 million Christmas trees this season. Christmas is the most important holiday in Central Europe and many retailers depend on it for as much as half of their annual sales. (Photo by Andreas Rentz/Getty Images)
