Did you know the history or feather trees in USA? They are originally German, and are thought to be the first artificial Christmas "tree" (although having lived in Germany, I dunno why anyone would need an artificial tree as the real ones are abundant and inexpensive) My mother collected the original, antique ones. She said these grew popular during the depression and throughout WWII. They were created out of things people had (chicken feathers) because real trees were too expensive or wood was needed for the war effort. Some were dyed green or red, but homemade ones were always white. I still think they are * ahem* pretty ugly, but knowing the history, makes me appreciate them some. Your ornaments are way cuter than the tree IMHO.
