12 Days of Christmas: 3 Trees to Try



Living in an apartment building really puts a limit to your Christmas tree dreams. Over the past two years I've learned to deal with the fact that I can't go out and point to the largest, fluffiest, live tree in the lot and demand Cameron to strap it to White Lightning (my Nissan Versa). Tree? Schmee! Here are our top 3 non tree Christmas trees to get you in the spirit... and without the pine needle mess too! Let's get creative!

Driftwood


Why not save a tree, and take a nature walk to gather drift wood? You can then clean up the various pieces you collect and make a wall display like these crafty collectors:

Cardboard


Recycle the cardboard kicking around in the back of your closets. Choose to paint it, or leave it au naturel.

Books


Are you a bookworm like I am? Put those novels to good use, and build your own book tree! Plus you can show off your favourite authors as a conversation starter if you're throwing a holiday party!

Don't have many books? No worries! Use a mirror to complete the second half of your book tree! You can also use filler boxes that are wrapped in between books.
