    Letting hipsters near Christmas trees is a great way to ruin Christmas
    Trees made out of chocolate are OK with me though.  yum yum

    This tree is horrible plain. It could have at least been decorated. I’ll have to upload a pic of my Mom’s. She tries to decorate it for each holiday. It’s one actually worth putting a pic up of.

    Now this grinch tree is adorable. Great idea for a kid’s own tree.
