What to put on a vintage looking Christmas tree (50's-70's) ?

I have decided that this years Christmas tree theme ( I do a different one every year) is going to be all vintage ~ from top to bottom. But I can't find any pictures of what they looked like. I wasn't born until the late 70's so I don't remember. I know that bubble lights are a must ~ but beyond that I have no idea.

Here's a site that has lots of different ideas - from lights to ornaments. Try it out:

http://www.telmore.com/old_christmaslights/table_of_contents.htm

I was a child in the late 60's, early 70's and our Christmas trees had strings of popcorn, and cardboard paper looped garland (in different colors) - my sister and I made them ourselves.

Hope you can find something on the site you like. And I hope your Christmas tree this year is the best!

Vintage Christmas Tree

Christmas customs are not homogenous all over the world, but among the most popular ones we can surely find exchanging of gifts, kissing under the mistletoe, decorating the Christmas tree and other indoor and outdoor Christmas decorations and Christmas ornaments. But while preparing your house for the holiday season you should not forget to pay attention to the basic idea of Christmas: spending quality time with your families and friends and thinking about the baby Jesus’ birth. Your soul must be prepared too for holidays!

All your Christmas decorations must have a magical spirit and must reflect your warm and tender feelings about this holy time of the year. You should search for new ideas every year so your Christmas ornaments will get the maximum appreciation, as many of your relatives and friends will visit you during this white season.

In order to create an intimate and warm atmosphere in your house, you can place colourful ribbons or bows on your curtains, chairs or door handles. You can add a touch of joy by using different colours instead of the usual green, red and white. But you can also choose a theme for your Christmas decorations, using only a colour or two. For a better effect, the tableware can follow the same pattern. The holiday garlands, the window candles and the lights on the front windows can also contribute to the charm of the decoration. You may be sure that your children will feel very enthusiastic about creating Christmas ornaments from coloured paper or other materials and this will stimulate their creativity.

The Christmas tree is perhaps the most important of all Christmas decorations. It can be real or made of plastic; it can be in miniature or tall. All that matters is what it stands for: a celebration of God and Jesus, a manifestation of joy and appreciation, a period when everyone tries to be a better person. The way one chooses Christmas ornaments is rather important for everyone because they can show the large variety of feelings related to this magic time. Children are the ones that dream most about the candy canes, stars, bells, toys, socks, little snowmen, Santa Clause hats hung in the Christmas tree. They dream more than adults and they probably even feel more during this period. So pay special attention to the star or the fairy on the top of the tree: it will be noticed (by everyone, not just your children) for sure! And do not forget to buy electric flashing lights, white or coloured, to make your tree look more animated!

Your children and the carol singers will love some suitable for eating Christmas ornaments. Chocolate coins or homemade cookies with a coloured, silver or gold wrapping will look delicious while sparkling in the tree and will tempt the guests of all ages! The same effect will be produced by other important Christmas ornaments - of the table - : the Christmas cakes, which you can cook and even decorate according to your imagination.

You should also think about some interesting and elegant Christmas decorations for your living room table: white glittery pinecones, little snowmen, white doves, white or coloured berries and flowers, silver bells, angels and anything that makes you feel happy. Everything can be sprayed with snow, giving only a little light dusting or making it look like a heavy snowfall, upon your personal taste.

Speaking about outdoor Christmas decorations, you might even enjoy a banner to tell everybody how happy you are about the holiday season, to wish them ‘Merry Christmas!’ or to make sure that Santa will not pass by your house. For many families it is very important to decorate their homes with strings of lights, which can have many shapes and sizes and seem to be the most popular outdoor Christmas ornaments. There are also dangling lights which resemble Santa Claus, snowmen, angels or icicles. There’s no limit to how you can show your joy regarding the Christmas time.

In the past, all that people used was a wreath of holly on the door, but now we can see Santa climbing up the roofs, fake snow on all the windows or even a pre-made figure or statue with lighting capabilities. (This can take the shape of Santa, a cartoon character, a religious figure or can even represent a biblical scene.) Many people manufacture their own decorations instead of buying them or look for exclusive products to make their house the most admired in the neighbourhood. For them as well as for us, the spirit of Christmas has to light everyone’s hearts and they do the best they can to bring a smile on their neighbour’s faces.

About the Author:

There is nothing lovelier or more inspiring than seeing or entering a house filled with nice and elegant Christmas decorations , reflecting the family’s love for the values of the season. Christmas is about renewing memories, telling stories, singing carols, sharing gifts and all the Christmas ornaments should be chosen with enthusiasm and joy.

Wine is an excellent gift to be offered on any occasion: from an intimate reception to the celebration of important events. There are several different related wine gift ideas that you can offer. Any person receiving a wine bottle will always be charmed by the gift.

Below are a few wine gift ideas:

- Include a pot of Wine Jelly in a wine gift basket

If you plan to offer a Christmas gift to a fine gourmet, wine jellies are a good idea. Wine jellies (made with red, rose or white wine) are used to create succulent sauces or simply putted on bread like jam. Wine jellies also enhance the taste of a fruit pie.

Here is an example of a Christmas gourmet basket:

A bottle of Sauterne or sweet Bergerac, foie gras (fat liver), wine jellies, flavored oil, balsamic vinegar, a recipe book...

- Personalized wine bottle

Several enterprises offer the opportunity to acquire personalized champagne or wine bottles. You can also personalize the bottle by yourself: name of your friend or parent, birth date, your Christmas wishes...

- Professional corkscrew

This kind of corkscrews do not damage the wine stopper which has sometimes the same or more value than the wine and the bottle. Corks can sometimes be very hard to remove, so a professional corkscrew will leave the stopper intact.

Some corkscrew have an optional engraved monogram and manufacturers create professional corkscrew decorated for Christmas.

- Crystal wine glasses set

Crystal is delicate and is an excellent way to enhance the wine you offer to drink. Crystal glasses also add a touch of luxury to your table.

There are several crystal factories such as Val Saint Lambert (Belgium), Murano (Italy), Baccarat (France)...; which are expensive but there are also less expensive crystal glasses available on the market. They are cheaper because they do not meat the crystal criteria but are as beautiful as the real crystal glasses.

If your Christmas gift budget is very large, offer a set of 30 crystal glasses including: 6 red wine glasses, 6 white wine glasses, 6 water glasses, 6 champagne glasses and 6 port glasses.

If your budget is limited, do not hesitate to offer a set of two wine tasting glasses.

The term "crystal" is protected in Europe and in many other countries since many years. To be called "crystal", the glass must meet some rigorous criteria in percentages and rates.

When you offer this kind of gift, ensure you that these standards are met, and you will always be sure to offer a gift of great value.

- Wine decanter

What does mean decanting? Wine decanting means transferring the content of a wine bottle into another recipient before serving in order to reveal the wine's aromas. A decanter also emphasizes the wine's colours. This is an excellent Christmas gift for a wine lover.

- Wine tasting set

If you plan to offer a wine tasting set for Christmas, include wine bags to cover the wine bottles, a wine tasting guide, scorecards to evaluate the wines, glasses designed to taste each category of wine.

- Wine club membership

Wine Clubs are a great way to discover and taste many different wines. There are different kind of wine clubs: red wine clubs, white wine clubs, etc. Wine clubs take you on a tour of the world's best vineyards and give you the opportunity to buy great wines and realize big savings. Put the certificate in an envelope decorated with Christmas motifs and hang it on your Christmas tree. This kind of gift can also be mailed with your Christmas greetings.

- "Pocket vineyard"

Another great Christmas gift idea for a wine lover, is the pocket vineyard; which contains an informative gold mine about wine: grape harvest tables, glossary, diagrams, suggestions to match wine and food... It is also an excellent tool for someone who is building a wine-cellar and will learn a lot about the subject.

By making a research on the Internet, you will find thousands of gift ideas related to wine that can be offered for Christmas. If your Christmas gifts budget is restricted, you can also offer a simple wine bottle in a nice gift pack.

Having the economic crisis looming over our heads, more and more people are looking to curb down their expenses and because of this they opt to get prelit artificial Christmas trees instead of authentic Christmas trees. It's hard to imagine Christmas without displaying a Christmas tree on your home.

Artificial Christmas trees can give you a chance to save up. Instead of using the money to buy a traditional Christmas tree every year, you can just buy an artificial tree, place it in storage by the end of the season and then bring it out by the next year. If stored properly, it will retain its shape and quality. Thus, it gives you the perfect tree for years to come.

However, one disadvantage with traditional trees that homeowners dislike is that real trees can make an absolute mess in your home. One thing that bothers most homeowners is the fact that traditional trees need water in order to remain fresh. This means constantly refilling their water containers. Apart from that, there are the needles. Some of them get embedded in the carpet and can be an absolutely tedious task to clean up. Moreover, there's the tree sap. This can go into your floor or carpet and can be sticky, and a pain to get rid of.

One, it entails savings on expenses. Using an artificial tree means being able to use it year after year without having to buy a new Christmas tree. Two, having an artificial tree means you are safer from fire hazards. Three, taste and preference is not a problem since you have a variety of trees to choose from. For example, a four foot tree is available as well as a 30 foot tree. Four, the color as well as the tree shape is also varied. Five, artificial trees look just like real Christmas trees. It's difficult to even tell the difference. Today's artificial trees are made of high-quality that it's hard to even tell them apart from the real thing. Details such as color, shape, even the branches are mimicked to the littlest degree.

Pre lit Artificial Christmas Trees

Buying prelit artificial Christmas trees means getting benefits. On the other hand, buying them also means receiving disadvantages. Here are two good reasons for the disadvantages of commercially sold Christmas trees in comparison to real Christmas trees.

First disadvantage with having an artificial tree is that for most people the process of having a traditional tree has become somewhat a tradition. There is no denying that there is an indescribable joy whenever you march out and pick you own tree. People who had strong traditions at home will definitely miss out on this feeling. When you decide to get a traditional tree, you will not get any of these special traditional and feelings. However, you can fix this problem by simply marching up to a tree lot or farm, walk around and feel the surrounding. This will ease your yearning for tradition and will also help you prepare to decorate your own artificial tree once you go home.

Plain tree stands for pre-lit artificial Christmas trees are trouble-free and undemanding to use. Most of the time, the setup won' give you any problems. They fold into a triangle shape, but when you need to use them, they are usually shaped like an X. A word of caution, however, if you are going to use this tree stand for your artificial tree, make sure to line the bottom with cloth or place it on top of the carpet so that you will not scratch the floor.

Whatever type of tree you'll settle with, whether its traditional trees or prelit artificial Christmas trees, it is important to remember that you are celebrating the season of sharing and loving.

You will also need to add some Unique Christmas Ornaments to your tree.

The entire world waits with excitement for the Christmas season since it is the sign that this year is almost over and the New Year is just around the corner. A lot of people over the world start celebrating the festive season from the first day of December, or even earlier if you go be the displays in the department stores.

The Christmas cake, the Christmas tree, the Christmas decorations and most importantly, Santa Claus, are some of the things we are instantly reminded of every time we think of Christmas. Not only those, wreaths and stars are also inseparable from Christmas.

Everyone from small children to old people start getting busy planning for Christmas some time before the big day It does not have to be a lavish celebration for everyone. It is a time to be together with the family and simple cozy celebrations are also nice, with people having a simple Christmas tree and decorating it with some ornaments and a star.

Christmas decorations can be done both indoors and outdoors or both together. Most people use the Santa Christmas scene, snowmen and white snow as themes to brighten up their indoors decorations, all centered around the tree.

You can choose a Christmas tree according to your budget since there is one to suit everyone's pocket. They are generally decorated with swirls, ornaments, garlands, bells, stars and pine cones. To make it seem more like a 'real' Christmas tree, fake snowflakes are often sprinkled on the tree. If you cannot get these fake snowflakes, you can also use cotton swabs in their place. However, do not use too many accessories in the Christmas tree if you display it in a small room.

The Christmas garland can be fixed to the tree using polyester or velvet Christmas bows. This makes the garland look neat and pretty wherever it is attached. Stars traditionally symbolize Christ's birth and are available in a variety of sizes and colors. A lot of different kinds of Christmas wreaths are also available, including giant wreaths to go on the front door.

There are also animated decorations available in the markets which are appreciated by everyone, especially kids. You could get yourself a waving Santa, horse and carriage, riverboats, twinkling stars, or even a collectible animated ornament.

Good indoor lighting can make all the decorations look even better. Thus, invest in some good lights to brighten the festivities. Get yourself light strings, light bulbs, LEDs, mini lights and other popular Christmas lights to make your home look even nicer.

You could also try being innovative with the Christmas tree by getting a wrought iron tree this year. They are classy and come in various sizes, shapes and colors, which means you can get one to match your decor and other Christmas decorations. These trees are available in colors other than black and dark gray. You can also get wrought iron stocking hooks and wrought iron stocking holders, which also come in different sizes and shapes. Wrought iron can also be used to decorate the hooks and holders such as with traditional Christmas symbols and characters such as a snowman, a candy cane, a Santa Claus, reindeer, stars, snowflakes, wreaths, gingerbread men, nativity scenes, an angel, as well as the Christmas tree.

Santa Ornament

For many of us, Christmas is the most celebrated and cherished time of the year. We dream about it months before the 25th of December and we try to anticipate the way we’ll spend this magic period. In order to make the most of it, we have to choose the best Christmas decorations (the most glamorous and eye catching Christmas ornaments), the most attractive Christmas tree and to be surrounded by our family and friends.

We all seem to be perfectionists when it comes to Christmas decorations. It’s understandable, since we wait for an entire year to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to enjoy the reunion of our family. But the best herald of this holy time of the year remains the Christmas tree. It’s around it where we share stories and laugh and open Santa’s presents.

The origins of the Christmas tree are not known for sure, but they date since ancient times and are connected to religious rituals. The practice of adorning it seems to have started during the 1500s, when an evergreen was associated with the Mother of Jesus and was decorated with roses as Christmas ornaments. A period when the Christmas decorations were represented only by nuts, pretzels, raisins and cookies followed. Then the glass balls appeared and gradually they were replaced by today’s plastic tree ornaments, like bells, toys, stars, candy canes, socks, Santa Claus hats and little snowmen.

The first thing to have in mind when searching for a Christmas tree is whether you prefer a real or a fake one. There are some advantages and disadvantages: the real one is very beautiful and smells like winter and forest, but it can make a mess of needles on your floor if it isn’t a special type of fir (evergreen) or if it wasn’t treated with special chemicals; the fake one will look realistic enough when we arrange its branches, but it will not fool anyone.

The finishing note for the tree is represented by the Christmas ornaments. No matter what you choose, how you decide to adorn it, your tree should say something about you and your family. You may choose a religious theme or a modern one. You may choose only white, red, silver, gold or other fancy colourful Christmas decorations. You don’t even have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful and unique Christmas ornaments for the Christmas tree. You can make a lot of them together with your family, in order to give your celebration a personal touch. Children especially are very enthusiastic about manufacturing all kinds of Christmas ornaments by themselves, using materials like white or coloured paper. Snowflakes are one of the simplest Christmas decorations to be made. This will develop their imagination and their skills and you will have less work to do by yourself.

The Christmas ornaments in chief position may be represented by the stars or the fairies on the top of the tree. We have many options for that too, since the specialised stores provide us with endless ideas. Other Christmas decorations that should not be forgotten are the lights. Originally people used candles for this purpose, but they’ve proven to be dangerous (a source for unwanted accidets), so now everybody buys electric lights which flash and even play Christmas carols. We certainly don’t want any Christmas ornaments to fall down from the tree, so it would be recommended to fasten them carefully.

No matter which Christmas story pleases us, about Jesus or about Santa, about angels or about reindeers, we should not forget to tell it to our children during Christmas Eve. This will create a magic atmosphere and, together with the Christmas decorations so carefully chosen, will make us all feel the peace of Christmas in our souls.

About the Author:

Nowadays we have a lot of choices for adorning our houses and our Christmas tree, but no matter what Christmas decorations and Christmas ornaments we use, we are not allowed to forget that Christmas is about joy, gifts, family reunions, friends and maybe about counting the blessings in our lives. After all, Jesus was born this day for our resurrection.

I know it's summer but has anyone ever seen a Snowman Christmas tree topper?

No but I made my own with a Ken doll and I call it Kenny Angel.

This project used snowman and snowflake gel clings, and can be displayed alone or grouped together in 3’s using other glass vases of various heights.  Showcase your beautiful Christmas vase or vases on a fireplace mantel, bookcase, or coffee table, or perhaps on a dining room table as a centerpiece.

Begin by adhering snowman and snow flake gel clings to the outside of your glass vase.  Be sure to space the gel clings evenly around the vase.  Next, begin layering the inside of the vase starting with snow flurries, then use bright white blanket snow towards the top, leaving 3 inches of un-layered space .

Supplies:

• Tall glass vase (if you don’t already have one, thrift stores sell all different sizes and shapes for just pennies.
• 1 Package of Gel Decorations, AKA “Gel Clings” - Blue snowman and blue snowflakes. If using a few vases, I would recommend doing one vase all in snowmen and the other vases in snow flakes for more visual interest.
• 1 Package of blanket Snow, bright white
• 1 Package of Snow Flurries (not to be confused with snow flakes, which are bigger and look more like shredded paper.  Snow flurries have more of a grainy appearance.)

Please note that gel decorations are removable and reusable. Do not expose to high heat or direct sunlight on hot days, sticker can melt.  You have finished.  When the holidays are over, you can keep your Christmas decorating project intact by stuffing a wad of newspaper in to the top of the vase, placing a small paper or plastic bag over the top and rubbing banding it to keep all contents in place.  Then, just pack it away carefully for the next year.

Christmas is a special time of year but its important not to forget your pets.The following tips will help to keep your pets out of danger during the holiday season this year.

Firstly, please make sure your pet AVOIDs the following holiday food items:

Alcoholic beverages Chocolate (baker's (dark), semi-sweet, milk chocolate) Coffee (grounds, beans, chocolate covered espresso beans) Moldy or spoiled foods Onions, onion powder Fatty foods Salt Yeast dough

Ingestion of any food that your pet is not used to can cause intestinal inflammation (vomiting and diarrhea), but those mentioned above are specific toxins that may cause more life threatening conditions in your pet.

Holiday season plants to avoid:

Lilies found in holiday flower arrangements can be deadly to your cat. Many types of lily, such as Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Easter, Stargazer, and the Casa Blanca, cause acute kidney failure in cats.

Poinsettias generally have low toxicity. If ingested, poinsettias irritate the mouth and stomach, causing mild vomiting or nausea.

Mistletoe can have a cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) toxic effect. More commonly, however, mistletoe ingestion usually causes gastrointestinal upset.

Holly ingestion can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and lethargy.

Please call your veterinarian for advice in all cases to ensure that your pet doesnt need emergency veterinary care.

Hazards around the christmas tree:

Christmas tree water often contains fertilizers, that, if ingested, cause stomach upsets. Stagnant tree water can have extremely high bacterial content, which can cause vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea, if ingested.

Electric cords should be hidden or covered safely. If they were chewed, they could electrocute your pet.

Ribbons or tinsel can get stuck in the intestines and cause intestinal obstruction if ingested.

Batteries contain corrosives. If ingested they can cause serious ulceration to the mouth, tongue and intestines.

Glass ornaments can cut the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract if ingested.

Your medications:

Please keep all your prescriptions and medicines away from prying pets. Pain killers, cold medicines, anti-cancer drugs, antidepressants, vitamins, and diet pills can be lethal to your pet in very small dosages. For example, one 200mg ibuprofen tablet can cause serious stomach ulcers in a 10lb dog. Less than one acetaminophen tablet (325mg) can be extremely dangerous to a 7lb cat.

More winter hazards:

Antifreeze has a pleasant sweet taste but even in small amounts can be lethal. As little as one teaspoon of antifreeze can be deadly to a cat or dog. Please be very careful when changing your cars coolant and always thoroughly clean up any spills. Store your antifreeze in a tightly closed container well away from your pet. Low Tox brand antifreeze contains propylene glycol and is recommended to use in pet households as this is less toxic. If you think your pet has ingested anti-freeze of any type please call your emergency veterinarian immediately.

Ice melting products can be irritating to the skin and mouth. Signs of ingestion can include excessive drooling, depression and vomiting.

Rat and mouse killers are used a lot during the holiday season. These can be lethal to your pet. Please be careful.

Your animal may become poisoned with little warning. You should keep telephone numbers for your veterinarian and a local emergency veterinary service in a convenient location. If you suspect that your pet has ingested something poisonous, seek medical attention immediately.

I need help please, with a christmas ornament project?

I am trying to add a picture to a glass ornament. I want the picture to look smooth.
I need ideas (if anyone has any) on how to accomplish this.
I tried decoupage but the paper bunches up and looks a mess.
Any help is greatly appreciated.........
Happy Holidays!!!
I would like to have the picture on the outside ...I know you can buy them but I really wanted to try making it myself..

I just saw a clear glass ornament that had a colored picture inside that was printed on a transparency at Kinkos. She cut the picture out in the shape of a circle, rolled it up in a tight tube and inserted it into the hole, then it quickly unrolled by itself when inside. She then painted a snowflake or two and some colored dots on the outside of the ball. It looked very good. I can't find the picture now, but there are endless possibilities with this idea! Someone else said that you could print it on your own color printer too.

When it comes to decorating your Christmas tree, always make sure that you have chosen elegant Christmas tree toppers.  There are many ways in which you can decorate your tree with Christmas tree toppers to give them an elegant, cheerful, and colorful look.

Since these pieces will be the finishing touches of your tree, you should choose something that has a lot of meaning.  They can include a Santa, snowflakes, snowman, a star of an angel. Angels are most commonly used as Christmas tree toppers because they are special.  However, these days, people like to go with a theme for Christmas.

They have a theme for decoration as well.  These can either be color theme, design, pattern, material and so on.  Previously, people used to stick to red and green for Christmas.  These days, if the theme is gold and silver, they will use only these colors for decorating the tree and the house.  These days, people don’t feel the need to use standard toppers for their tree.  Although toppers are an essentiality that adds elegance, charm and attractiveness to the tree, they can come in different forms, shapes and sizes.

Some people even choose to craft them out of materials available at home.  They use cardboard material and make shapes out of them.  They then use foil paper, colored, gold, silver or patterned to wrap this shape up.  These produce very good hand made decorations which can be used on the tree top and also for other decorations.

Nowadays, toppers are available with music and blink as well.  They have fiber optic diodes that make them glow.  These are definitely exclusive pieces which you should use to create a welcoming, cheerful and playful atmosphere.

I am looking for an artificial Christmas tree made from recycled materials - know where I can get one?

We can now make grass out of shoes, pavers out of tires...surely there has got to be a tree made out of something recycled!

Try Garden Ridge, Home Depot, or Lowes, maybe Hobby Lobby too! Good Luck. I've seen one made out of beer cans or glued together and spray painted it looked pretty cool. You could also put aluminum foil in the areas where a can wouldt fit (for filler)

Christmas trees are an indelible sign of the holiday season. With the coming of Christmas, the family gathers around the tree to decorate and to light it to become the family's symbol of the love that is shared in the house. As such, whatever the situation the family finds itself in, lighting the Christmas tree is always an affair that everyone, especially the children, look forward to.

Environmental concerns have caused some sectors of the society to howl in protest that the use of Christmas trees as symbols for the holiday season has a negative effect on nature. They contend that the yearly cutting of fresh trees to be brought inside for the holidays is slowly causing the denudation of the world's forest lands. One response to the criticism is using artificial Christmas trees.

The First Artificial Christmas Trees

Artificial Christmas trees have been with man since the Germans first thought of it in the nineteenth century. These artificial Christmas trees were made from goose feathers that were dyed green to mimic the natural green of freshly cut trees. Like today, these artificial Christmas trees were the German's response to the denudation of their forests. In order to make these imitation Christmas trees look more attractive, artificial red berries were placed on the tip of the feathers, often acting as candle holders.

Modern Artificial Christmas Trees

Over the years, artificial Christmas trees have evolved, not only on the materials used but also in their designs. As a response to campaigns to protect the environment, artificial Christmas trees abound everywhere. The following are the most popular artificial Christmas trees today:

1. 6.5-foot Canadian Pine Tree. With its bright green dye and red tips as done by the original makers of the artificial Christmas trees, this is a case of a classic Christmas tree. But that is where its classic tag ends, because the tree also features 550 built-in lights that can lit up the entire house. Moreover, the bulbs feature twist-proof designs that guarantee that they will surely light even if one of them is broken or loose.

2. 7.5-foot Lime Green Cashmere Tree. This tree comes in a more attractive shade of green. To accentuate the effect, the tree has 500 built-in green lights that can make the tree truly green.

3. 9-foot Royal Slim Pine Tree. This is a giant of a Christmas tree, towering at 9 feet. With its size, it will surely remind every one of those days when the practice was still to cut a large tree and bring it indoors. However, unlike the natural variety, this one has 300 multicolored LED lights that are great decoration even if the light is not turned on.

The evolution of the Christmas tree is one example of man's response to clamor to help save nature. Though the debate may not yet be over with some claiming for negative effects on health posed by the paint used on artificial Christmas trees, what is undeniable is that these trees are cheaper, and is even more beautiful than their natural counterparts.
