For the last couple of years we have put our real tree outside on the back patio. I can see it from my sewing room. It is in the area of the bird feeders and the birds love the tree. We keep it up till spring.[ATTACH=CONFIG]501361[/ATTACH]We have several artificial trees that stay decorated. I store them in a closet. Easy to bring out and put away.[ATTACH=CONFIG]501363[/ATTACH]A santa ornament tree and a prim.tree with hand made ornaments.[ATTACH=CONFIG]501364[/ATTACH]Corn husk dolls,hand dipped bees wax candles,cinnamon ornaments, etc. Love Christmas. j
