A tree is a tree is a tree, even if it doesn’t look like one; but it is a Christmas tree, if it exudes the holiday spirit ad challenges the usual mindset. Meet No. 23, in our annual countown…
23—This novelty find –used one previously—challenges the imagination. It proves a tree can be without leaves, as long as it’s something vertical, in this case a series of six circular tree stumps were carefully cut into graduating sizes, the tiniest at the top and the largest at the bottom and anchored with a stump of a base. The space between the slabs is less than an inch in height, so to decorate, you need truly small Christmas stuff: little trees, tiny ornaments, faux candy, Santa charms, and anything that suits your imagination. If it fits, glue it. The reaction will be positive, because it’s certainly different. I bought the tree “nude,” but can’t recall when or where from, but gussied it up with miniatures. It’s truly one of my favorites, because it has charm because it’s unconventional.
