Additional Angles Of 2024 Metal Christmas Tree

Posted by terrepruitt on December 28, 2024

You may have seen my Friday Photo post on December 13, 2024 that was titled One Angle Of Metal Christmas Tree. Here are more angles. I really love the metal tree because it allows me to hang heavy ornaments and allows some ornaments to be seen better. I always think it will be fast to put up, but it is not.

It took me a particularly long time to assemble this year as I had thought I had mislabeled the parts, but I had not. Then I didn’t open every box (containing ornaments) that I have and start pulling things out. I was trying to do a few boxes at a time which meant different ornaments were going on the tree. I try to use the heavier ones on the metal tree, but I also like to use ones that look good from the back.

Also, I am not part of the Christmas-Day-is-over-decorations-come-down crowd, I like to at least make it through the 12 days of Christmas and then it depends on the status of the tree (is it super dry?) and when the weekend falls.

Anyway, we enjoy our metal tree. Here are just a few of the MANY pictures I took of it. Thank you for looking!

Merry Christmas!

When do you take your decorations down?

Both my tree skirts, this one and the one around the other Christmas tree, were made by my mother-in-law.  She was an amazing seamstress.

Cute Seal

Posted by terrepruitt on December 21, 2022

This is a little seal. He is cute. He looks like he is flying or we could pretend he is floating in the surf. I like him.  I think he is super cute!  What do you think?

Do you have any animal ornaments on your tree?

Merry Metal Christmas Tree

Posted by terrepruitt on December 22, 2021

I have been wanting a metal tree to hang Christmas ornaments on for years. But we have a lot of Christmas stuff and we really try not to add to it, plus the tree itself was rather expensive, but I kept wanting one. I kept my eye on it and every year the price went up. Then I happened upon one that was half the price of the original one I have been coveting. I think it might not be as sturdy, but it has a lot more “branches” and places to hang ornaments. So this was one of my Christmas presents this year.

I thought hanging ornaments on it would be easy, but it is not. I realized that it is good to hang the ornaments that are 360 kind of ornaments. Because the tree is so visible from every side it is nice to have ornaments that look pretty from all sides. I was also a bit cautious because this is the first time we have had it and I didn’t how sturdy it would be and I didn’t know how the cats would react. I don’t think they have even looked at it. It is pretty good they pay it not attention since I move one of their scratching things and put the tree there.  They just go to the new spot to scratch.

I also had no idea how to hang the lights. I strung them from “branch” to branch where I think it would be cool to wrap them around each branch. I am not sure. I like it, but it took some getting used to.  I hope to get better at it each year.

I like the extra added sparkle in the house.

I had taken videos as I was decorating to document what went where in case I did it the same next year. This is the last one starting about 1/3 of the way down.

As you may have seen in my last post I do have other metal ornament trees, but this one is much larger.  Do any of you have a metal tree?
