IKWTDS was talking about an alternative and I have been thinking about it ever since. There are lots of ideas out there.

I like this one.

Looks easy enough.

Why would someone want an alternate tree? Just curious. For decoration purposes?

She was wanting something easy cause she isn't going to be there Christmas. Just something simple in the meantime.

And I like some of the other trees.

There are tons of options.

This little guy is just cute.

Pretty awesome alternative Christmas tree....possibly up post-Christmas? This would be great for school decorations since Christmas seems to sneak up on me.

if I tried it, there is no way it would turn out that cute though. It would look like a pile of books with lights on it.

I love these ideas. I don't want to spend money for a temporary thing so I am leaning toward buying a large plant for the corner of my living room, screams for it anyway. Now should I get a Norwegian pine or a Hibiscus?

The Hibiscus.

My uncle did a Hibiscus tree. He did it with apples and white lights. Left it up year round. It was neat.

 OMG I could so do this.  I have one of those exposed wall bearing beams in the living room I could hang this from.  It would look wonderful!

We have a hook in our ceiling in the living room. I think the ones who lived here before us had one of those hanging lights on it.

Anyway, I could do that here.

I like simple.

Not a tree but I like it.

I think I'll paint mine black, decorate with glitter tape for the holidays, and keep close to the fireplace all winter for wet scarves, hats and mittens too!!

Love the hanger thing. A fresh flower thing is pretty but not practical.. Really leaning toward the lights hanging and attached to something on the floor. I still have a 36" metal frame from a wreath last year. I can do this!

The flower looking tree are succulents.  They absorb water from the air.

I think it is really neat and I would love to have one.

Oh if I had the space and ability I would do this and keep it up year round.

Alternative Christmas tree love this with maybe a plastic white tree or a flocked one and maybe some wings...

I'm going to make it too. We just replaced the posts on our porch so we have those. The boys can do the cutting and harder things I cant do. A couple cans of spray paint and it will be awesome.

 This is a great alternative to hanging from a mantel.  What if you don't have a mantel?

Our mantel is made from a hewn log. It is hard like a rock and cant get anything in it.

 We don't have a mantel, an d we had a wall hanging with hooks for stockings but it didn't hold them well when they were full, this looks like it will work well no matter what.

I have done this one. Hang it and decorate. No lights, but very pretty with lots of ribbon.

Years ago I worked for a firm that didn't have room or funds to buy a Christmas tree. So I brought in some lights and ornaments and decorated the ficus. Co-workers thought I was crazy, but ended up liking it so much we decorated the "Christmas Ficus" every year, even after we moved to a larger office. We voted to use the funds for bonuses rather than buy a tree.
