    I know, I know. It seems like just yesterday it was Halloween!

    Here you are, hardly done digesting 49 pounds of candy corn, and I'm over here eating fruit cake and drinking eggnog.

    But with all the craziness of 2020, I felt it just made sense to slide right on into the holiday season a smidge sooner than I normally would.

    Gail at My Repurposed Life's Wooden Christmas Tree Stand Box is not only stylish, it is a storage-friendly tree stand!

    I love that it FOLDS FLAT to slide out of the way for the other 10-11 months out of the year.

      Thank goodness your thrifty decor ideas are early Pam. There are so many here I'd love to do this year and I would never have time for all of them if I only saw this a few days before Christmas.
