I'm not sure I've seen a white tree anywhere around here. I have the day off of work tomorrow to spend with my daughter (who's here for the week from Toronto) and I'll be on the look out for any white, fluffy trees!<br />Happy holidays and happy hunting.<br />ChrisChris at Red Gate Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339700094067226000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-10748628071123195262010-12-19T18:00:30.646-05:002010-12-19T18:00:30.646-05:00Wishing you good mojo to find the perfect white tr...Wishing you good mojo to find the perfect white tree!

Every x-mas we get a live hedge tree of some sort, like a cypress, and we decorate it inside and then after the holiday, we plant it in our yard.<br /><br />Well. This year the one we got was infested with ants, so I had a moment of utter frustration as I dragged the thing out into the back yard, a highway of ants trekking from the corner of our den all the way to the kitchen sink, and I just went out and bought white x-mas tree. <br /><br />It was really cheap, it looks a little like a plucked chicken, and hilarious in a Charlie brown sort of way - but I love it. I am sure there's a white tree waiting for you out there, my friend. even if it's not the one you thought was meant for you. And you'll make it look fabulous. I just know.<br /><br />Merry Chrsitmas, Cindy. I'm sending you a big hug from here.<br /><br />much love,<br />-mariaMaria | Vintage Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046940964809245057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-23219970990288050732010-12-19T13:27:28.830-05:002010-12-19T13:27:28.830-05:00Hallo.

But your tree is out there just waiting for you. <br /><br />I am a totally NOT traditional Christmas type decorator - so a white tree was required many years ago before they were so popular. Everyone thought I was nuts! But, I am with the previous poster - I got mine at Wally World...cringe...I dread that place. But after bringing it home,ditching the plastic tree stand and dropping it in a galvanized bucket and decking it out with red and white candy goodness that first year - it looked MARVELOUS!! And here it is 7 years later and I still love it, just like that first Christmas.<br /><br />Here's to a less stressed 6 days until Christmas...I think we all could use those Christmas wishes...The Domestic Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030545789846014448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-56958962393207213942010-12-18T20:02:33.462-05:002010-12-18T20:02:33.462-05:00I chuckled a bit when I read this...because the sa...I chuckled a bit when I read this...because the same thing has happened to me before.

Or...you could do the same thing to some small ever green branches and stick them in a vase or even in your existing tree to give a little "whiteness"....hugs, MandyMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402209872505900515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-46758859053212494052010-12-18T13:08:18.957-05:002010-12-18T13:08:18.957-05:00I've awarded you the stylish blogger award!

Why couldn't I find time to just get it into town?! Hope you're feelin better. By Jan ist all is forgotten and the Christmas sales will have yielded new treasures.
