It does not show up as a quest on the map, but when I do the question mark it says it is an active quest.. I can get anything... is it because I got a tree last year or is this a new christmas tree??? I was wondering

I'm not yet close to having everything for that, but are you?
Find Thirteen Christmas Balls (10/13)
Find Five Christmas Lights (4/5)
Find Four Christmas Garland (2/4)
Find Eleven Candy Canes (6/11)
Find a Christmas Star (1/1)

I know it says "Find all the decorations for the Christmas Tree! Decorations can be found rarely in bushes during the Christmas event. Find all of the items before the event ends to get a special decorated Christmas Tree for your house." but perhaps it can't end before the Event ends. Or perhaps the tree in the Fairgrounds does not have a completion ! over its 'head'.

P.S. I do know that even though the Safety First quest said that it gave me an Elf Hat, it didn't because I got it last year, same might happen for the Santa Hat.

the thing is I have done three zones and have only gotten ONE Garland.. so was wondering what is up and it does not show up when you look at the zones for active quest.. neither does the carrots.. I got a raindeer last year.. so not sure what is going on... hope someone can tell me.. I got a tree last year too..

You don't understand "can be found rarely"?
Active quests only shows Quests that have specific zones where they can be done, others like the Adamantium Metal, Lucas and others which can be done EVERYWHERE do not show up on the Map, and ALL the Christmas stuff (other than the Puzzles) can be done EVERYWHERE. That quote above kind of says that by NOT saying that you HAVE to whack Christmas Bushes/Beasts.

Since you were able to buy it that means that you didn't already have it from last year.
I would first check the play history to be sure that the purchase happened, then I'd look at the Inventory again. The Christmas Tree is a House Item, and it could be anywhere in the unplaced house items.

Deborah, check under your character hats. There is one christmas tree that you can buy with the red stubs that is actually a hat.

I just finished the christmas tree and did not receive a new one for this year, as I had completed it last year. I did get the energy, gold and stubs though.

I understand that the items for the tree are rare to find, however, I've found almost all the carrots, finished all the christmas zones, and got everything but the 4 christmas garlands.

I have not seen a single christmas garland, am I just *really* unlucky or is something going on? ;(

I got all mine while doing one of the 5 Crypts Quests, forget exactly which one, but it seemed like all of garlands happened in the same one.

Spore Cap spells (Quester's Favor) helps a lot for these. I recommend that, when you get assigned to find a bunch of items for Santa, Mrs. Santa, and sad Elf, that you go do another quest area that requires finding things in bushes (such as finding flowers in the pyramid for explorer tokens). Before you start whacking, however, activate the Quester's Favor spell and equip some kind of a sword that decreases the odds of nothing. This has been the most efficient way to get a bunch of different useful things done at once that I've found.
