Winter wonderland.  Stunning. Growing up in the midwest, one of my favorite parts of the season has always been how magical all the decorations look outside once coated with a dusting of "packing snow". Thick, slightly wet - the kind of snow every 8 year old delights to find waiting for epic snowball fights & carrot nosed snowman families. When the conditions are just right it coats every branch in winters splendor - white washing the landscape in its pristine glory. I found that that in this tree. My inner 8 year old is absolutely delighted! You almost expect it to feel cold to the touch! This is not your "snow in a can" flocking. Absolutely breathtaking. Is it a little messy? Of course it is! :) So is the season! Can almost smell the hot cocoa while basking in its warm glow... Absolutely thrilled with purchase - would highly recommend. Love!!! Happy holidays!
