Old Christmas Tree Tradition

 As the years have progressed, our love for hunting and gathering the Yearly Yule Gymnosperm were waning as can be seen from the photo above.

 The Stump Tradition was started in 1998 and lasted till 2014, only 2004 was missing when we traveled to Italy and the UK right after Christmas and decided not to put up a tree that year. Sixteen stumps in the collection, they have been willed to the heirs of The M Estate and are expected to be lovingly cherished in situ or placed in a museum.

New Christmas Tree Tradition
2 pre-lit pencil trees. This year placed in the corners of the living room. Quick, easy, use one, use both, easily transportable in their own case, leaves no needles behind, provides many options.

All photos taken with new camera.
