The Upside Down Christmas Tree

The Upside Down Christmas Tree

Yes, you are reading this correctly.  The upside down Christmas Tree.  It exists.  I recently encountered such a tree  at an horse carriage exhibit and was amazed.  Of course, I had to take a picture since I had never seen such a thing.  

Upside Down Christmas TreeI had no idea why this tree would be upside down so I did a little research. 

Turns out, this is not a new idea!  The all knowing internet revealed this:

  1. "The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity."

Clearly, this tree does not hang from the ceiling so someone must have devised some clever stand that balances the whole thing perfectly.  

Googling  upside down Christmas tree brings up a whole bunch more about this latest trend in holiday decorating... or maybe it's more accurate to use the term "rediscovered".  

Supposedly, it saves some valuable floor space so it has a practical side to it.  

I am not so sure about this.  I think I like my Christmas tree standing upright. 

What about you?

Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR , I barely have time and inclination to get my straight when it's right side up..  reminds me of some old movie where the furniture was all rearranged to convince someone that they were going crazy.

Hi Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR ,  I have seen them, but I don't think I would be interested in having one.  They're too strange for me.

I regard it as a novelty that will wear itself out soon (I hope). Not my cup of tree at all.
