2020 has been a dark year for so many. So, when thinking of this years Christmas decor, a black tree came to mind. While untraditional, it feels oh so right. 

We don't have much room in our antique house for a big tree and this pencil tree fits, has presence, and is perfect for the space. I was worried about the branches not being able to handle ornaments, but (while ours are not heavy venetian glass) we had no issues with support and as you can see there are lots of ornaments on it. 

Also, the top of the tree has a hole to insert a star. We opted for a cocktail strainer since, if nothing else, 2020 was a year to drink. 

I would highly recommend this tree.
