CHRISTMAS TREE Altneratives

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is a little more than six weeks away.  Typically, the Christmas trees will start arriving the weekend after Thanksgiving and then it will be four weeks worth of constant needle vacuuming and watering.

While I grew up with a real tree for the holidays and have staunchly defended it well into adulthood, every year I toy with the idea of doing something a little different.  This year, I scoured through Pinterest and found these great Christmas tree alternatives that are simple and stunning.

Since most of them mount on the wall, they are perfect for smaller spaces and can be put up and taken down without a lot of fuss.   Budget friendly, these trees can be made from items already in our home.  Because they are low maintenance, they are also perfect for a retail environment where a free standing tree may not be practical.

How do you decorate for the holidays?
