A Christmas Tree to Remember

Currently our mantle is decked out for the holidays. Note jade plant at left :)

Did you buy a real tree for Christmas this holiday? Or perhaps go green and find a potted one that you can keep year round?

The Hubs and I opted to decorate our little jade plant with lights, paper snowflakes, mini ornaments and a ribbon. Since we're out of town all but one week in December, we figured it'd be the easiest way to go. We also threw up some twinkly lights in a triangular shape over the mantle, so it looks like a super-mod, urban rendition of a Christmas tree.

I'm loving creative trees, especially those with little to no environmental impact or those that can last. Check these out!

Perhaps my fave: a sticky note Christmas tree! Photo via The Girly Nerds.

What's your tree like this year?

Also, we've got a winner from the Minneapolis giveaways! Congrats to Diane. I'll be emailing you about the lovely Sacred Suds soap.
