Treetopia: Your Place for Fun Artificial Trees, White Christmas Trees, Wreaths and Garlands, Palm Trees, and Decorations
Treetopia has a completely awesome selection of fun and traditional Christmas trees. I am definitely going to keep them in mind for next year. They’ve been featured on Regis & Kelly and more…check out their media page.
And of course, don’t forget this stunning Stephen J. Colbert National Treasure Tree.
I also can’t help loving the Smurftastic Blue Christmas Tree.

Now is the absolute best time to shop for Christmas 2009. Besides my annual day-after-Christmas trip to Target, I’ve been browsing the great deals on Christmas goods online, such as these from Pottery Barn.

Did you know that Amazon.com sells fake Christmas trees? This knowledge may come in incredibly handy, as I am planning to upgrade my fake tree after this Christmas season.
I’m particularly smitten with this Barcana Alaskan Deluxe Fir PE/PVC Ready-Trim Christmas Tree with Clear Mini Lights. It has 2,000 lights! If only spending $729.99 sounded like a good idea. (It does ship for free with super saver shipping.)
Nonetheless, there are some other cute options here, including some mini-trees, which I’ve been looking for in stores but have been disappointed with the selection.

Here are some lovely ideas from the Los Angeles Times: 50 ways to make your holiday gifts homemade.
Not only are homemade gifts less expensive, they also capture the spirit of holiday giving in a way that purchased gifts simply can’t. And if you consider the ubiquitous traffic and holiday crowds, a leisurely morning spent baking breadsticks or whipping up a batch of homemade marshmallows seems positively Zen-like by comparison.
All of the gifts are food-related, from cookies to a winter soup starter. I love the idea of food as gifts, especially sweets.

If you are looking for a little distraction, Flickr has so many great Christmas photos to look at, like this one. A good place to start is the Christmas cluster.
