About the design:

Merry Christmas, Vickerman crew! I’m excited to show you my tree this year! This tree is very special for a couple of reasons! One, because it’s our first Christmas tree in a new home—a home that we waited for, for SEVEN years! Because the home is in FL, we opted for a ‘tropical’ theme, matching Vickerman’s Christmas tree, floral stems, ribbons, and ornaments to the Phillip Jeffries wall-covering. And two, the Christmas tree base was made by a friend of ours, who lost his daughter in a tragic car accident while he and his wife were enroute to see their daughter last Christmas. Woodworking became a therapeutic distraction for him as he began his healing process, and this Christmas tree crate/stand is a reflection of that. I’ve submitted this entry as a tribute to his daughter Amy, and promised to do his Christmas tree crate justice by pairing it with your beautiful tree and decor. Hope you enjoy my take on a “Tropical Christmas”. ??
