Each year our decor team decorates over 60 trees throughout the store. I offer here another sampling of a few more that have been completed for 2011. Enjoy the sights!
Highland Park Tree
This tree is highlighted with green glittered thistles and artichokes – another in a long line of surprising and beautiful choices for a Christmas tree.
Red Elegant Tree
Along with the beautiful red and gold decorations on this tree, I’m drawn to the striking gold deer in front – would love to have a mantle or hall table worthy of being graced by one of these creatures.
Woodland Tree
Filled with animal ornaments made from natural elements, this tree is always a favorite for me. Notice the three platforms with snow-covered cabins that have been worked into the tree this year – such a clever touch.
(By the way, don’t yell at me if I haven’t gotten every tree name just right – I haven’t yet received the formal name list.)
Case in point, this is our kitchen tree, or maybe the gingerbread tree ~ but I think of it as the Limeade Tree! If you look closely, under the heavy white flocking, the branches of this tree are lime green – it looks luscious enough to lick, but there’s probably a tag attached warning me not too. It’s a colorful and refreshing backdrop for the peppermint all-day suckers and other kitchen helpers making themselves at home in its branches.
Bow Tree
And changing gears just a bit, we have a stunning new collection of tin angels on the floor this year. They come in several different sizes, and are so eye-catching – I would love to see photos of how you use them in your Christmas decor this year.
They are so elegant and whimsical at the same time ~and you know I love whimsical! Along with the angels we’re showing this amazing silver deer.
That’s it for today. And I only used the word “glitter” once! Aren’t you proud of me?
Be sure to check out our fall events calendar for the store – we’ll be showcasing several new artists and a cookbook author for signings from September into December. (I’m sorry if the items aren’t in perfect date order – we have elves working on that right now!).

P.S. Would someone please tell me whether to put the description above or below the image?? I can never figure out which is best, and I see that I changed directions in the middle of this post! I hope you can follow along….
All the decorations are beautiful. I can`t wait to get there, we will be there the first week of December & will be staying at The Inn at Christmas Place.We just love the hotel & the store. i have to buy something every year for my self & friends. We love the bed at the hotel so much, we even bought one of them. If I can`t live in the Great Smoky Mountains, I`ll bring as much of them as I can home with me.Dianne
The Christmas Place is my favorite store!
I think the comment below the picture works better. Great looking trees–no surprise there….the designers do such great work there! I have a desire to come and work there for a couple of months–maybe someday… would love to just be a part of such a great business. And Janet–use glitter as much as you want! The Christmas Place is all about the glitter!!!
I love the Christmas Place. Every time we visit Pigeon Forge ,I stay in Christmas Place at least an hour while my husband patiently sits outside. Please put more on computer, so I can look between trips. Ruth from Georgia.
Thanks! I’m working on it. Right now, our carperters are building a tree inside the store that touches the ceiling – can’t wait to see what we’re doing with it!
