Thanks for the compliment, Lut! It's easy, you just get a real Christmas tree and let Maya and Inka help tearing it apart. No, you can buy the fir (spruce?) in bunches and you get a tree stump or something and some clay to put on it. Then you find all your Christmas things from last year and put it on all the way around in betweeen the spruce - leave space in the middle for a candle! I'm sure you can make a beautiful one!

Kelly, I usually get a nicer candle, but couldn't find one this year!
