=====''Georgia''===== [[File:Presidential Chichilaki.jpg|thumb|upright|Decorated [[Chichilaki]] at the [[Orbeliani Palace]]]] [[Georgians]] have their own traditional Christmas tree called [[Chichilaki]], made from dried up [[hazelnut]] or [[walnut]] branches that are shaped to form a small coniferous tree.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.georgianjournal.ge/discover-georgia/29148-chichilaki-georgian-version-of-christmas-tree.html|title=Chichilaki–Georgian version of Christmas tree|website=Georgian Journal|access-date=31 December 2018}}</ref> These pale-colored ornaments differ in height from {{cvt|20|cm|in}} to {{convert|3|m|ft|sp=us}}. Chichilakis are most common in the [[Guria]] and [[Samegrelo]] regions of Georgia near the [[Black Sea]], but they can also be found in some stores around the capital of [[Tbilisi]].<ref>{{Cite news|date=21 December 2011|title=Georgians rediscover Christmas tree traditions|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-16275554|access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref> Georgians believe that Chichilaki resembles the famous beard of [[St. Basil the Great]], because [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] commemorates St. Basil on 1 January.
