Christmas Trivia

These strange balls of green in the trees, what is it? You don't see it in the summer with all the leaves on the trees, but it is very visible in the winter when the leaves are gone.
Technically it is a parasite that eventually kills the trees. One more factoid: it is illegal to pick this stuff off the trees for any purpose because of its parasitic nature and ease of spreading. This stuff can't be good for anything or anybody, can it? Leave a comment if you know what it is.
