Upside Down Christmas Tree

The Upside Down Christmas Tree is from a 12th century Central European tradition of hanging a tree from the ceiling at Christmas, the tree is inverted to ensure a smaller footprint for less-spacious areas, and allows more room for the accumulation of presents underneath. Originally designed for specialty stores to display delicate ornaments using a minimum of floor space, the unusual tapering shape allows the tree to stand in places that do not accommodate a traditional holiday tree, such as between two armchairs or in a corner. The trees weighted base provides extra stability to prevent tipping and leaning. The inverted shape makes it easier to see ornaments, which hang away from the dense needles and do not get lost in the foliage. If you would like to know where to find one, then please post to this blog...
