They can have the tree if they put in a sprinkler system. Following the fire code is just good sense. Sprinklers can buy enough time to safely get out of a building. Nothing to get upset about.

You're right. My home doesn't have a sprinkler system either. You better come and get the Christmas tree I put in my living room.

And while you're at it, take all my books too. They're all made of paper. Paper burns like a mother.

And disconnect my gas too. What if my dang house blows up? (But leave me my microwave...please...I don't see why the gubmint should want it...I don't use it in religious services or nuthin'...)

You better breathe into a paper bag or something before you hyperventilate.

I'm not aware of regulations anywhere which would forbid you,in your own single occupancy dwelling, from having a Christmas tree. See, the fire code just isn't that intrusive.

I'd have a tree this year myself, but we are installing porcelain tile in the house the week of Chrismas. A Christmas tree would just get in the way.
