I have two mini Christmas trees in my cube, and I realize that although the two styles are very different, I like them both a lot. One is more simple with jewel tones, while the other is sparkly and bright.

This first one cost $2.50 in Target’s “dollar” section, plus another $2.50 for the razzly-dazzly ornaments. I swore that I would never buy anything that cost more than $1 from Target’s dollar section, but I couldn’t resist. I was drawn to the sparkles! One of my co-workers has a totally hot pink cube, so I called her up and sort of pushed her to have me buy her the hot pink version of my silver tree. It’s also available in teal, purple, typical Christmas-tree green, and opalescent (or “mao-yin” color, as we call it, harking back to “Big Trouble in Little China”).

This next tree is from IKEA and was on sale for a $1 or $2. I can’t remember. It’s also available in yellow, black, and red. I got the ornaments a few years ago at a post-Christmas sale at Target. Cute,  eh?

Anyway, I’ve enjoyed having a little festivity in my cube, so I just wanted to share with you all, too. :)
