01 Jan 2009 Our Prosperity Tree
 |  Category: Celebrations, Tags/Memes  | 5 Comments

In 2007, I joined Blue Panjeet’s 1st Christmas Tree Blog Parade.  You can find my entry here.  It’s almost round-up day for Christmas Tree Blog Parade 2008 and I still haven’t posted my entry.  My apologies, Blue P, for the very late posting.  I have been quite delinquent in all things Christmas-related.

I used the very same Walmart-bought tree we got last year, the same angel tree topperand the same gold and red decorations.  Red and gold are my favorite holiday colors, primarily because they signify prosperity. ;)  There are additions I made, however, which turned our Christmas tree into a “Prosperity Tree”.

This is our tree with the room lights on…

And here’s how our tree looks with all the room lights off…

Here’s a close-up.  Keep your eyes open for the yummy tree trimmings! ;)

I used chocolates as additional tree trimmings.  I would have used round fruits as well but that’s just not too practical if you ask me. :D

The chocolate selection includes, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Twix and M&Ms. I used the mini chocolates.  I’ll probably use bigger chocolates next year for added visual impact. ;)

And for a unique prosperity garland, I used play money.  It took me a while to glue them all together but it was well worth all the trouble. :D

And that’s it for our tree and my entry for the 2008 Christmas Tree Blog Parade.  :D  Cheers!
