A Christmas palm tree?

Yesterday, I was hemming and hawing about whether or not to bring home a real tree this season.

I'm starting to lean toward doing a real tree, as are many other Canadians this year, but I also can't stop myself from peeking at other festive alternatives.

While I've previously considered vases, twigs and collections of ornaments, all of those options tend to be rather expected - unlike this Christmas palm tree (available at Lowe's, $248.00).

I think this is such a fun twist on traditional decor!

I love that you've got the evergreen boughs in lieu of palm fronds - a real tropical meets Christmas vibe.

After all, if you're going faux instead of fir, why not have a little fun with it? 

If the palm tree is a little bit too out there for you (I think I'm too much of a traditionalist to pull this off in my own holiday decor), Lowe's also offers this white stunner, below, for $118.

I love the snowy vibe, and just imagine how nicely the colours of your ornaments would pop!

It would look amazing in a monochromatic scheme - I'm envisioning purple or teal, but traditional red would certainly rock it as well!

Believe it or not, there are as many palms and pines here in Florida as one could imagine anywhere. Why that is I could not tell you. I don't know how a palm would grow in Canada, but I don't think it would thrive at all. The inclement weather that you 'enjoy' and the soils may not be receptive for the appropriate growth. Unless you have nourishment and commitment by the grower few things will flourish in the fashion you desire. Like a relationship, anything you desire to bear fruit of sorts, has to be tended to with the appropriate care. If the commitment is not there, neither party will be satisfied. Have a great day.
