Shake things up a bit this holiday season with an upside Christmas tree. We've heard of these before but have never seen one in person.
We love how this one is decorated with photos of the family tied on with big bows. This unconventional Christmas tree comes with 800 pre-lit clear lights. The good news is you'll have plenty of room for presents below. This one is available at Sam's Club.

hehe, it's very Dr. Seuss
I guess I'm a grinch, because I hate it.
It's an interesting and fun idea. It would drive me nuts in my own home.
This is visually offensive!
Wha....?? Why?
I love upside down Christmas trees. The ornaments can actually hang! I've seen some really beautifully ones. Now, if only I could convince my husband!
hmm
its kind of an interesting idea and all, but at the same time it makes me think of hanging a flag upside down or something.... i guess it just seems rather anti-christmas to me...
Yes, Star3night, my husband would probably need convincing too, hehe. I'm Christian so the upside down tree doesn't bother me one bit. :)
It reminds me Hanuka Dreidel (spinning top).
it's the Christmas Tornado!!!
I think the meaning behind this is for Christians that are fed up with Christmas commercialization. That they are turning Christmas "upside down" to focus more on Jesus' birth, etc.
No thanks.
no
Hanging your tree is actually MORE traditional than setting it upright - for all the Christians who seem to think this is offensive.

What on earth does an upside down Christmas tree have to do with Christianity? I'm missing something here. It's a TREE and we have one in our loft that we decorate for different holidays and events. It BRIGHTENS our room and lives. Our friends love it and it's a huge conversation piece when people walk into our home! Geez, I don't get it!
