I saw one of the facebook shorts (I tried for the longest time not to look at any of them. LOL) .....and it had two guys with a very large artificial tree and all they put on it was white lights and the silver icicles and I LOVED it. I am toying with the idea of cutting a VERY small tree and making a small version of it, like you, to see if I can get some of the wonderful aroma, but also to see if there is any beauty when done the same way, in a very small tree.

When I was growing up, we always had a cedar tree and most times, either some of our extended family or some church friends would let Dad cut one off of their property. As children, we didn't know the difference in how their very fine limb ends weren't perfect for ornaments, so we adored them and the SMELL.... on my was it ever heavenly. Some years I have cut some bits off the ends of some cedars at Mom's, not so you can tell buy looking, but i have put it in an old pot, added water and brought it to a slow simmer on the stove top. It wasn't as strong as it used to be with the hot lights strung on the tree, but there was still some aroma from it. Oh how I love getting a whiff of that !
