I'm thinking of something like a large cactus or a bonsai tree, suitably decorated, instead of the bog standard pine. Do you think this would be more cool, suave and generally impressive than a normal tree?
Has anyone tried a non-traditional christmas tree?
I say if you can put lights on it go for it. There is nothing wrong with thinking/decorating outside the box..
Reply:In the right setting a cactus is a great idea - modern and trandy/minimalist design I can see a cactus with red lights and fuzzy/furry/feathery, high quality tinsel looking really funky - perhaps a lava lamp and a Salvador Dali print on cracked glazed terracotta painted plaster?????? Anyhoo - if the cap fits, wear it.
Merry Christmas
Reply:My local garden centre has a pre lit christmas maple tree (fake of course) which looks amazing - little white LEDs with red, green %26amp; gold maple leaves, very festive and very different.
Reply:Many years ago when strapped for cash, I decorated our indoor houseplant - a rubber plant. It looked quite good. You can decorate any kind of plant really. I supppose a cactus would be a bit prickly though when trying to put decorations on it - although they would probably stay put!
Reply:of course - its becoming quite a trend at the moment in interiors to use cactus as a focal point in a room and now as a christmas decoration - how fab - check out Habitat for ideas
Reply:how about a Festivus pole?
Reply:Well.. I did have a cactus 2-3 years ago.. decorated it up nicely..Why not?
Reply:No i have not but to be honest i wouldn't either because..and i'm not getting uptight or anything....promise....but i think enough traditions are being lost...now there is a black christmas tree...i would not even go there!!!!
