Christmas Tree One of the most popular traditions associated with the celebration of Christmas, the Christmas tree is normally an evergreen conifer tree that is brought in the house or used in the open, and is decorated with Christmas lights and colourful ornaments during the days around Christmas.
Optical Fiber An optical fiber is a transparent thin fiber, usually made of glass, for transmitting light. Fiber optics is the branch of science and engineering concerned with optical fibers.
Uses of optical fibers:

Polarization-Maintaining Optical Fiber In telecommunication, a polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PM) is an optical fiber in which the polarization planes of lightwaves launched into the fiber are maintained during propagation with little or no cross-coupling of optical power between the polarization modes.
Note 1: Cross sections of polarization-maintaining optical fibers range from elliptical to rectangular.
Single-Mode Optical Fiber In telecommunication, a single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest. Single mode fibers are best at retaining the fidelity of each light pulse over longer distances and exhibit no dispersion caused by multiple modes; thus more information can be transmitted per unit time giving single mode fibers a higher bandwidth in comparison with multi-mode fibers. A typical single mode optical fiber has a core radius of 5-10 micrometers and a cladding radius of 120 micrometers. Currently, data rates of up to 1 Gigabits/second are possible at distances of 60 km and over 6 Gigabits/second at distances of up to 10km.
Multi-Mode Optical Fiber Multi-mode optical fiber (or multi-mode fiber) is a type of optical fiber mostly used for shorter distances, e.g. on campus. It can carry 100 Mbit/s for typical campus distances; the actual maximum speed (given the right electronics) depends upon the actual distance. It is easier to connect to than single-mode optical fiber, but its limit on speed x distance is lower. Multi-mode fiber has a larger center core than single-mode fiber.
Christmas Tree Packet A Christmas tree packet is a packet with every single option set for whatever protocol is in use. Also known as a "Kamikaze" packet, nastygram, and lamp test segment.
The term probably derives from a fanciful image of each little option bit being represented by a different-colored light bulb, all turned on, as in, "the packet was lit up like a Christmas Tree."
Christmas Tree Cluster The Christmas Tree Cluster (also known as Open Cluster NGC 2264 or the Xmas Tree Cluster, and sometimes incorrectly referred as NGC 2264) is an open cluster in the Monoceros constellation. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. The cluster is located about 800 parsecs or 2,600 light-years away from Earth.
Christmas Tree (Oilfield) The basic function of a christmas tree, so named for its resemblance to a decorated tree, is to prevent the release of oil or gas from an oil well into the environment. When the well is ready to produce oil or gas, valves are opened and the release of the formation fluids is allowed through a pipeline leading to a refinery.
=Drilling= The set of valves, spools and fittings connected to the top of a well to direct and control the flow of formation fluids from the well.
Australian Christmas Tree The Australian Christmas Tree (Nuytsia floribunda) is a parasitic tree found in Western Australia, particularly around Christmas time (summer). It is known for its bright yellow foliage and can grow to 10m tall. It is a member of the mistletoe family.
