Do you have a small place and don’t have room for a Christmas Tree? Or maybe your budget doesn’t allow for a big tree. Well some of my fondest memories are when we had a small tree. I remember when I first got married and moved out my father bought me a small artificial tree and he said “In case you go through some hard times you will always have a Christmas tree” . Believe me we used that tree every year when we first got married because when you first start out it gets tough. It wasn’t until years later and our paychecks grew along with our children did we get a bigger tree. Over the years our trees got bigger as well as the amount of decorations we collected. It wasn’t until 2008 when we lost our business due to the recession and times got tough again did we go back to the small tree. I called it my recession tree, it was small and scraggely but it was special to me because not only did I have a tree, but I had a roof over my head to put it in. A lot of people that year lost everything and I was just thankful to God for what I did have. I loaded that tree up with decorations that I collected over the years and put a string of lights on it and it was perfect. The best thing about that tree was that, the presents I put underneath it seemed like a whole lot. Small trees are great when you don’t have a lot of room, you can put them on a small table with a cloth and let your imagination take over. Its also less work to decorate and store after the holidays. I will have to go back and look for pictures of my recession tree but until then here are a couple of pictures and ideals for table top trees..
