How many Christmas trees are there in Cars Land? That's the question I set out to answer photographically last month. There are a lot of Christmas trees around Radiator Springs, and they're not all even trees. In fact, many are tree-like but made up of other elements, and quite clever! So I set out to look for them all, with the rules dictating that they had to be three dimensional elements--not drawings or paintings of trees, and they had to be specific theming and not just any tree-like object, such as merchandise. How many did I find...?
