bettyn100 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 From the site: "Tree can be displayed in a traditional format or in an inverted upside down format" Why on earth would anyone want an upside down tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noehlp Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 omg someone actually puts their tree upside down?? For sure! All GottaDealer's should! It allows for more presents under the tree that we all got on sale thanks to GottaDeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierymyst Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I don't get the upside down tree thing... put the presents beside the tree if they won't fit under it. Upside down just looks odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to go and pick up the wood glue at my local Lowe's, though. I wanted to get a pretty pre-lit tree for next year, looks like I got it under control--TY.

scrapwave Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 A few weeks ago we went into Michaels in Fort Worth and they had some of the upside down trees all decorated. While the decorations were nice..the tree just looked sooo weird!! Apparently that's the new thing...but I'd really be concerned about it getting top heavy and tumping over.

hannahs_momma Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 What's Behind This Insanity? An upside-down Christmas tree! Who has ever heard of anything so ridiculous? Well, you may be surprised to hear that an upside-down Christmas tree is one of the hottest fads of the season. But it's actually not so new! Hanging fir trees upside down goes back to the Middle Ages, when Europeans did it to represent the Trinity. But now, Christmas trees are shaped with the tip pointing to heaven, and some think an upside-down Christmas tree is disrespectful or sacrilegious. The trees were recently introduced to retailers for in-store displays, so more ornaments could be displayed at eye level to the buying public. And they left more floor space to hold extra stock of decorations. But the upside-down Christmas trees have caught on, and are being sold to the public as a novelty piece. Target.com has a version that sells for $399 and comes pre-lit. Hammacher Schlemmer’s website has not been able to stay in stock. Upside-down Christmas trees are either hung from a bracket on the ceiling like a chandelier, stood upside-down on a stand, or mounted tip-down on the wall.

superbad Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 oh my god!!!!! my stomach hates sooo much seeing that stupid inverted tree.. i hope you can actually put it in regular position because this is just ridiculous... are people running out of better ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishboysmom Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It looks like a big bird to me. Just needs some wings and a head. Who comes up with these ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promom Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It would be funny to decorate one, have some friends over, have a few drinks and then do a "Presentation of the Christmas Tree" and see their reactions.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlr1260 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It only got a 2.2 rating on a scale of 1-5. I wonder why. That's a good price but I want to know why customers don't like it (other than the obvious upside down thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day we were putting up the tree and he asked if we could put on the branches in reverse order, lol. He wanted to do it just like that picture above! I couldn't imagine... but I guess people buy it! He's always coming up with these odd little ideas that I end up seeing eventually come to market. He's my little entrepreneur, too. He'll stand out in an ice storm to sell hot chocolate, lol. He asked for a guitar for Christmas so that he and his friend could play for money. If he put those two skills together, the boy could make a killin'. Now if he'll just pay attention in school.... Hey, Richard Branson quit school and he's got quite a gig with the Virgin label -- but I'll never tell ds11 that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
