Yosemite's Fake Decor

By Robert Siegel
Published December 9, 2002 at 12:00 AM EST

In Yosemite National Park this holiday season, all the evergreens are staying outdoors. The park has deemed real Christmas trees and garlands to be fire hazards. Robert Siegel talks with Ed McCann, co-author of Faux Flowers and a contributor to Country Living Magazine, about this year's decorations at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park.
