An unusual #craft fad of decades ago was to use costume jewelry, pinned to flat materials, to make other images. #ChristmasTrees seemed to be a popular choice.

From Reuters:

Chinese producers of plastic Christmas trees and other festive decorations say orders from U.S. clients, which are crucial for their business, should have started to come in by now. But because of surging import tariffs, they haven’t.

[Reuters, April 10, 2025]

I never had a plastic Christmas Tree. But I recall having said something about the fact that they tend to come from China to a friend a few months ago. Should the center-piece of many Christmas living roons be made in a country that persecutes Christians as a matter of state policy?

In cheerier Christmas Tree news, I published many fun Christmas Tree links in Newsletter Leaf Journal 166, which hit inboxes and feed readers on December 23, 2023.

This year's tree is cut-paper, and was a gift Dean brought us from California. Four wooden trees from Brisco's Coffee Shop surround it.

Sharing with readers the annual Brooklyn Heights Promenade Christmas Tree.

A well-lit large Christmas tree seen at night at the Montague entrance to the Brooklyn Heights promenade. It sits next to a little red mailbox which says "North Pole" and a metal Chanukah Menorah. The Manhattan skyline can be seen off in the distance.

Even confirmed Hermits need to get out of the house occasionally, such as enjoying a Coffee Morning in Milroy with friends.
