Holiday Pine Boughs Instead Of A Tree

In my small apartment, I have never had room for a standing Christmas tree, so I have used several smaller desktop decorated trees which I take out every year. However, in order to have the tree experience, I use pine boughs from the local Christmas tree stand and put them in vases and decorate them!

You can usually get these boughs for free, or for a small bit of money. My hubby tipped the guy trimming the trees. And the arrangements give off a nice pine smell, too!
