The World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree

The world's most expensive Christmas tree has been unveiled in Japan. Currently on display at the Ginza Tanaka jewelery shop in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, the tree is made of 24k gold, decorated with more than 240 jewels including diamonds and pearls, and comes with an estimated value of around £1million. "Economic sentiment is sluggish. But, at least in this store, we want people to feel a gorgeous atmosphere," a store official said. At least they spent their money on a useful gift this year, and nothing gaudy.
