	Description:		The Douglas Fir and Norway Spruce make fine Christmas trees. But how about breaking out of the traditional mold and trying something new? If you've been there and done that with the evergreens, there are other options available to you to create a stunning Christmas tree. Are you a recycler? Save up some cans or bottles, give them a good cleaning, then stack them in the shape of a Christmas tree. This works best in homes without pets or young children who might go accidentally careening into your handiwork. You can decorate your patio furniture with lights, ornaments, sleigh bells and more. If you're a big reader, stack up your collection in a tree shape, then string with lights. Try using a circuit board. If you can find an electronics waste depository, a collection of the circuit boards can be a clever alternative to a traditional tree. A dress form can be dressed up in holiday lights and tinsel. Or hang hangers in an evergreen shape against a wall and go nuts with hanging decorations
