Our Woodland Christmas Tree

I decided to do something a little different this year.

Instead of Santa's and snowmen, I decided to do a woodland themed Christmas tree.

I already had this twiggy star for the top of the tree and it fir with the theme.

I love the owl at the top of the tree with the plaid belly.

Kirkland's had their ornaments half off and he was only $2.50!

Someone put this ladder in the trash and I snagged it. hee, hee!

Love free!

I was tempted to paint it red (wouldn't that have been cute?).

But then I wouldn't use it the rest of the year so I kept it as is.

For now.

For the last couple of years I've placed the tree in this bucket I got from Lowes.

There is a Christmas tree stand inside the bucket.

I bought the bucket and stand at the same time and made sure the stand fit inside.

The last couple of years I never noticed there is a label on the front (doy!).

I like the way it looks and had it face out this year.

I have all kinds of fun woodland ornaments on the tree.

They were very cheap and I made some of them.

I plan to do a separate post on the ornaments soon.

I hope I don't run out of time.

This month is flying by!

I meant to take a photo of the tree with the whole mantel, but I keep forgetting.

If I ever get around to it I'll add it into this post.

My teenage son has been complaining a lot about the tree.

(Teenager's like to complain.)

After I photographed it for the blog he wanted me to take it apart and decorate

 it the traditional way.

I said no.

He has finally come around and likes the tree except for the sprays of berries (which I love).

The tree is best all lit up at night!
