did you read the reviews? this one is the best: [quote=“traditional mom”"] I only gave this one star because it wouldn’t let me give it NONE. This is horrible. What happened to the tradition of Christmas? I have had trees in the past that come down to the floor. In order to make room for a village AND gifts, I have simply removed the bottom row of branches. This is strictly for yuppies who care more about having the latest fad then they do about the TRUE meaning of Christmas. I agree…this belongs in a Dr. Suess book!!! [/quote] aparently, “the upside-down Christams tree was used to teach people about the Holy Trinity…that’s actually why it was used during Christmas.” ---

Small tree = looks like more presents, less maint. easier to decorate, and tear down. @ my old apartment with my dad we had the same tree up for 4 years… for christmas we woould pull it out of the corner, like a foot, and plug it in. DONE. ---
