Tiny Tim

Wooden Cutout Trees

These wooden cutout trees remind me of the time I celebrated Christmas like Tiny Tim. My sister and I were visiting a friend who was studying in London and we were all broke students. We didn't have enough money for a tree, so we found a cardboard box in the dumpster and made one. We cut out pictures from a magazine to make ornaments and crafted a popcorn garland. It was the most memorable Christmas I've ever had. The times when I've had to overcome struggle are my most interesting memories and the ones I remember most fondly.

Speaking of creative trees, these colorful Vickerman laser trees look like so much fun. They'd be amazing as holiday decorations bunched on the front porch or lawn.
