Christmas Trees for Your Collectibles

When you think of a Christmas tree is it a traditional green evergreen? Or are you one of those who thinks outside the box? Water/bubble tree, upside-down trees, black trees and more!
The New LED Christmas Lights
Energy saving LED Christmas lights have been on the scene for several years, but until the last year they've left a lot to be desired.
Pick the Right Christmas Tree

You're a collector with beautiful ornaments that need to be shown to their best advantage. What type of tree is best? Do you want a traditional tree green or are you willing to go outside the box for a Christmas tree that's a little different, but lots of fun?

Explore these choices to find the best pick for your home and collections.

Making a Christmas Tree from a Branch
An interesting and inexpensive idea for a Christmas tree
Upside Down Christmas Tree Gallery
Although many people will not consider anything but a "traditional" Christmas tree, Collectors are a different breed when it comes to Christmas and decorating. Although upside-down Christmas trees are being touted as the newest and sometimes "strange" thing, they've been around for years and are, in fact, an ancient tradition.
The Aquarium Bubble Christmas Tree
Each year is a new adventure in decorating, this year it was time to transform the bubble tree into an aquarium.

Tabletop Christmas Trees
Tabletop trees are perfect for those who don't have the room for a full-size tree, but also for those who love to have Christmas touches throughout the house.

There are endless choices, but some of my choices would be a small antique feather tree, a live tree with Radko or one of the fun trees made for avid collectors.

Antique Feather Trees
Feather trees should always be stored in a climate controlled area such as a closet. The heat from attics will make the feathers brittle and the dampness in basements will cause mildew. I store my feather trees with the branches open.
Non-Traditional Christmas Trees: Aluminum and Tinsel
Authentic aluminum trees can sell for fairly high prices at flea markets and at online auctions. But you can buy a new version that is much sturdier and a bit more affordable.
