Last Christmas, I kept seeing unique, colorful decor with white Christmas trees on pinterest. Unique and colorful are my key words for decorating. Secretly, I pined for a white Christmas tree to play around with.
After the Christmas season, I broached the topic with Travis, just in case we happened upon a sale of white Christmas trees. He looked at me as the loony that I am, but said okay. He's always game for my eccentric ideas. Lo and behold, a few days later, I found a $15 pre-lit, white Christmas tree at my local thrift store. She was mine.
And there she lay, packed tightly in her box in our basement for a year. Until a few nights ago when, with giggles and embarrassed smiles, we pulled her upstairs and trimmed her fake, flame-retardant branches with our keepsake ornaments.
Our girls can't get over how "beautiful" she is. So sparkly and bright. Each ornament gleams against the white backdrop. She's different than our other trees. Kinda retro and corny. But, she fits the home this year. And she's definitely a punch of fun. At $15, you really can't go wrong. For $15, I'm always up for some weird and memory-making experiments.
So, welcome little white Christmas tree. You sure are pretty.
