Massive glass vase (from when we had a big house and decor was on large scale) filled with sparkly tree baubles and a short line of cheap lights which hold the branches in place. Birch is very bendy so the lightest of the oldest decorations (15 years old at least)- fir cones with santa hats, cones made of coloured raffia, some bells.
I will clear the bits off the window sill next week and the few cards we get will complement it nicely. Nice and easy to clear away.
We will be visiting others houses and will admire there needle dropping real fir trees greatly (and gratefully).
You should see the mess our artificial trees make. Thankfully they aren't needle sharp
ReplyDeleteI did not know that! Thought they were indestructible.
DeleteI like your alternative tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSimple and compact, my sort of tree. We aren't doing Christmas this year as we don't have the room or inclination! Next year will rock!
ReplyDeleteArtificial trees drop leaves as well. I like the alternate tree.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
