Disney was the theme for 2001 with a Disneyland Monorail train set going around the base. If you want a train set around a tree, an upside down Christmas tree is apparently the way to go!

Upside-Down Christmas Trees:
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. It just took a popular retailer like Target to have them online and a few journalists getting crazy about them to create a flurry of news stories. The bottom line is, when you have hundreds of ornaments you look for the best ways to display them and an upside down Christmas tree can show them off better than a traditional tree.

Still can't figure it out? Check out the image gallery and see how the Christmas trees can really show off your treasured ornaments.

The Glass Links web site is a feast for the eyes when it comes to Christmas decorating and Connie Porcher has graciously shared these images of upside-down Christmas trees from the past years. These are several different variations of an upside-down tree and just like a traditional Christmas tree, there are all different ways of decorating and displaying the trees.
