Haha I haven't seen this in the thread yet. For about 5 years I have been on a search for a small tree to go in a little corner on an antique table. I didn't want a typical Christmas tree. I wanted the branches to show with no evergreens on it. FINALLY found it in Nov. It's about 4 feet. So. . . . it's going to stay up all year. It has white lights that have various settings and I decorated it with quilted patchwork ornaments. I just took down all the Santas - kept up the red and added quilted red hearts for Valentines. I will decorate differently every month for each holiday. The grandkids LOVE it!!!! And so do I.
