Getting in the spirit

1. I started with the treeless...

Thing a long time ago. But sort of had a tree.

I have several giant pine cones from Coulter Pine trees in southern California, they are huge, like hardwood, and lethal if one fell from the tree and hit you. The large one that I have weighs six pounds. They have globs of sticky sap so baking them for a few minutes turns the sp into a permanent hard, glossy glaze. They're pretty.

I decorate one of those and have it off in some space where it can sit a look nice with one or two pieces of tinsel wound around it and a few micro spheres and maybe micro lites. Takes in about one square foot with presents and cards. Great for a small table or end table.
