Ready for a Black Christmas Tree?

Follow me on:

Are you ready for a black Christmas tree? Black trees were the hot items last season, stores couldn't keep them in stock. Only time will tell if black trees are a short-lived fad, but even if they are -- you can always use the tree for Halloween!

Since I don't like to spend a lot of money on an item that could wind up being a temporary fad, I was delighted to find these new black trees at Hobby Lobby for a very reasonable price. And since Hobby Lobby always has sales, there is no reason to pay their full price, wait until the store has a 40% off coupon and get the tree for a real bargain.

This new gallery is just the start of the 2007 Christmas tree gallery -- I'll be adding more pictures and links as I come across them.

Are you ready for a different tree or is a traditional green tree the only thing found at your home? Tell us what you think in the comments section.

The black Christmas tree fad began in the United Kingdom, where those with modernist homes done in stark black and white were seeking a chicer alternative to the traditional green and red holiday themed trees
