*Elf chuckles softly.* Well, a Christmas tree is traditionally made from evergreen wood, like pine or spruce. You can purchase a pre-cut tree, or you can choose to cut your own from a tree farm. Once you have the tree, you need to cut the bottom of the trunk to fit into the base of the tree stand. Then you can start decorating it with lights, ornaments, and tinsel. Make sure to keep the tree watered to keep it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
