This first tree is for Hilda at My Manila. It's a Philippines tree. Information boards on traditions were included.
And for Kris at This Will Hurt Me, a tree that reminded of the header on his blog.
While I don't think there were as many big trees as I've seen in previous years, there were more table-top trees and wreaths than expected, which I didn't photograph much. On to the trees!
We liked this angel tree.
This tree is a salute to Boise's Basque community.
Bears roasting marshmallows at the base of a tree.
A "Bob the Builder" construction tree.

Clever ornament on a "cheers to wine" tree - a glass ornament filled with old wine corks. This is just a sampling of what there is to see. If you're in Boise, the festival runs through this weekend.
The Festival of Trees is a perfect outing for ladies of a certain age who belong to the Red Hat Club.

Cool! The Philippine tree is decorated with capiz shell ornaments — I only have capiz for our star tree-topper and the bigger star (parol) outside the house. They also have the traditions right. We never make the Simbanggabi though — too early! :)
I really have to post more Filipino products, food and traditions in my blog.
All the Christmas trees here are fantastic! The Basque tree topper looks most intriguing. Thank you for such a fun post!
Now why didn't I think of that, tractors on the tree.
'Nothing Runs Like A Deere' (Kaching!)
I do like that Peanuts tree very much. My favourite x-mas tree is the famous Charlie Brown one too!
