I have always had a real Christmas tree, sometimes 2. I now have a young DCB with bad allergies. Can I write off the cost of an artifical Christmas Tree.

You can deduct all expenses that are "ordinary and necessary" for your business. If you use the tree as part of your curriculum, then you can deduct your time-space % of the cost. Incorporating it into your curriculum means you engage children in Christmas celebrations, talk to them about the meaning of Christmas and the Christmas tree. In other words, if you had a tree and didn't refer to it with the children, you couldn't deduct it.
