Video tree

Okay so this is cheating a bit. I "created" this video, but obviously not the tree, which was purchases from CVS for the best $1.99 I've spent lately.

When I was a child my mother, grandmother, aunt and other family friends all bought table top trees from a local store. The were made of a stiff brittle plastic and with sparkly white and silver glitter on the outside that faded over time and a light feature inside that made the tree.change from red to blue to green and back again. I loved those trees and have looked in vain for one in thrift stores and on eBay.

This tree is much smaller and sturdier but still brings back those dreamy childhood memories of holiday magic.
