Christmas Tree Festival

Every year a neighbouring village church holds a Christmas tree festival,
and groups from the area are invited to enter. 

There are a huge amount of entries and a huge amount of amazing ideas.

It doesn't have to be a traditional tree or indeed a tree at all, 

this display was a set of decorated shelves in the shape of a tree.

Disney Magic tree

Box Of Years

Santa got stuck up the chimney

The Winter Queen was stunning

Remembrance tree

Family tree

I liked the Shoe tree

Jerusalem

my WI group's entry

one of our ladies wrote the words of the hymn on the ribbon which wound around the tree. 

The rest of us created the hills, the feet, clouds, sheep, bow of burning gold,

 arrows of desire, chariot of fire, sword, and my contribution - the dark satanic mills.

Cuttletrees was the winner voted for by the church committee.

It was a clever idea, a trio of trees made with forks and tiny lights threaded through them, 

it wouldn't have been my choice though, too severe and sterile for my liking.

The visiting public  then vote for their favourite.
I can't remember which one is was but it wasn't ours.

this was my favourite

The Spiral tree

it isn't shown in the best light though

it was a pretty spiral of greenery, cones, balls of string covered in fake snow, 

white and silver baubles and sparkly lights.

Treefold made out of folded paper was lovely.

The Library tree was clever

Covered with picture clues to book titles

I didn't win the raffle
but we did have a lovely time enjoying the trees and the craft fair nearby.

Hope you have enjoyed just a few of the Christmas Trees in the festival.
