Where did you buy the glass/crystal icicles?

Looks quite realistic, just like our fresh balsam tree.

Funny. We just decided to get a Balsam Hill tree this year, too. Although our motivation is space, not temperature. A new sofa is eating into the space formerly allocated to the tree, so we need a narrower one and that means artificial.

My kind of tree. One where leaves are still visible. So unlike the overstuffed overdecorated trees that seem to be all the rage these days.

Dragon, we put quite a bit of decor in the back, but I think there is a slight bias towards the front. The tree is visible on about 80% of the surface, as the back is seen at an angle from the dining table on one side, and from a sitting area on the other side. Also, from a weight perspective, we always add decor in the back so the tree doesn’t tilt with the weight of the glass/crystal pieces… Joey, yes, the tree turned out well. The shipping was an annoyance. :) Natie, I hope you have added a few more pieces to your tree this year! Ami, I haven’t even started to wrap… the presents under the tree are for sending out to folks, but I really like to sit down for a couple of hours to wrap presents for close friends and family myself…

Do you put as much decor at the back – where it’s hardly seen and facing the wall?

Beautiful tree, MM. Totally worth the aggravation with SC.

Those glass/crystal icicles looks great! I hope we get a close-up pic of the gifts so we can see how you used the ribbons you bought in China.
