I've never thought of myself as a white Christmas tree kind of girl.
Not that I even know what that means. It's just that I was firmly and squarely in the green tree, pinecones in a bowl, nature inspired, traditional look for the holidays.
With a few blow molds thrown in. But hey, a big plastic Santa with a light bulb up his butt is traditional right?
Last year, I noticed quite a few bloggers had their Shiny Brite ornaments on white trees and were talking about how it made their ornaments POP.
So I thought, what the heck I might was well walk on the wild side and try a white one. Just this once.
But damn if they don't look good on the tree!
Am I going to h-e-double-toothpicks for using the "damn" word this close to Christmas? The "butt" word is OK though, right?
BTW, this is a small 4' tabletop tree in my dining room. My main tree in the living room is still green. This year, at least!
I am now a convert. Slap a label on me and call me a white Christmas tree lover!
What about you? Are you a green tree lover? Or white?

I also have a 4 foot white Christmas tree with pastel colored lights! It is adorned in my folks Shiney Brites and a few of my own...it sits on a table that has been in the family at least 70 years....I would have never though to be a white Christmas tree lover either, but it was 10.00 after Christmas at Wal-Mart and well....let's just say I am a bargain hunter...stop by and you can see mine...:) 521 Lake Street blog

I'm a silver or green girl. You may make me a convert, though. LOVE the white tree with the vintage ornaments.

Ok, we're a traditional green tree family. Every year we get a 6-8 foot Frasier fir. But THIS YEAR the white tree was calling my name. So my hubby actually broke down and bought me a fake white one at Wal-Mart. It's our "second tree" and I love it! Only problem is, it's not very stable. Once I started decorating it, it looked like it was starting to l-e-a-n. Not really stable. So of course I got worried that any glass (Shiny Brite, etc.) ornaments would break if it toppled over. Now the tree is decorated completely in non-breakable ornaments! While it's not what I had envisioned, it's still pretty darn awesome! Yours is beautiful. Happy Holidays!

Love your pretty tree. I have a white one too. I agree that it makes the ornaments "pop" and looks a little more vintage to me. Merry Christmas to you.

My main tree is a traditional green tree. But I have a white one for my Marine Corps ornaments. My son is a Marine. I love it. Red, white and blue lights and ornaments.

Where can I buy a white tree

I bought that one at Walmart last year and I just saw that they had them again this year. They also have the green ones with a lock of white snow flocking on it again this year. Just go to Walmart.com and put "white Christmas tree" into the search box and it comes up with quite a few. I had mine on a table, so I bought one of the 4ft pre-lit ones and I think it was under $30.

Next x-mas I will make a tree like this I will try my best to find all those vintage glass ornaments like you have here. In Sweden, they are very rare och pricy. I follow you on Instagram from now. <3

Thank you Ingrid! I haven't been as active on Instagram lately, but I plan on spending more time over there soon.
