My parents have been putting up two Christmas trees for about four years. They have a big floor to ceiling tree in their family room where everyone hangs out and watches TV and they have this smaller three that sits on a table in their living room. For the past two years, they have left the little tree up through the winter and removed the Christmas decorations and put snowmen on the tree. Well, truthfully, the grandkids decorate the tree with non-breakable snowman ornaments that my mom has collected over the years. This year they decided to do something different and put the tree up early to have a Thanksgiving tree. My mom put white lights on the tree and gathered some fabric leaves. She also repurposed some springs of berries and whatnot from an old wreath that she had that has seen better days. The grandkids made foam pumpkins and foam turkeys from one of those kits that you can buy at Micheals or Hobby Lobby or your local craft store.
Here are some action shots of two of my kids making their turkeys:
