Too wierd.
A significant part of Christmas is tradition. This tree is anti-tradition.
Sometimes I think there's no nope for us.
OK, am I the only one who is thinking about Peter?
Could cause some problems when you light the candle ornaments...
Well, inversion does have occult symbolism. So, it's not entirely batty to ponder such implications. An "Xmas" tree probably should be as opposite as possible from a Christmas tree, if the purpose is to be in opposition.
Outside of that, it has to just look absolutely ridiculous.
"Leaves more room on the floor for gifts!"
Gonna need to hide empty space this year.
I guess a sense of humor doesn't come standard for some when it comes to the holidays.
I fail to see how an upside-down tree is any more pagan than a rightside-up tree.
We put Easter Bunnies and pumpkins on ours. /sarc.
Hilarious. I guess this'll turn Christmas upside down, for sure. I think I'll stick to my normal tree.
Ummmm, wouldn't gravity take care of that?
Anyway, the whole thing is goofy, and will be a passing fad. But I could see the advantage to a right side up tree being hung from the ceiling (and touching the floor, so it looks a proper tree) -- kitties can climb it without knocking it over. Once had a few weeks old kitten take down a tree in the middle of the night. Wouldn't have thought she was heavy enough, but apparently once she got to the top, and got some leverage, her 8 oz. or so was enough to do the trick. She never did that again. Not sure she EVER climbed ANY tree again, even though she was an indoor-outdoor kitty.
This is GREAT! This trend will finally give me a place to put all my Pet Rocks, which are certain to be big next year.
/s/
It's a novelty. And it will go away, like all such stupid and pointless things.
How hideous. They really have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas. What's next? Upside down Nativity scenes? Oh, wait, that would be a direct religious reference, so, never mind....
And, lol, I don't know about you guys, but there seems, every year, to be that one person, usually a relative, who succeeds in toppling or almost toppling the decorated Christmas tree! With this 'upside down' tree, they're already halfway there.
Too wierd.

There are things in this life which are simply stupid. This is one of them.

My mother used to freak if she saw the light cord on or under the tree.
Celebrate Christmas properly. Go out and kill a tree.........
I know some people who are religious that do this, as did their parents etc. They claim the first Christmas trees were always hung upside down starting in the Middle Ages in Europe. It was supposedly a symbol of the Trinity. People started standing Christmas trees up in the 1500's according to them.
My friend has been hanging her tree from the wall for years. She started doing it to keep the cats out of it. I'll have to call and tell her that she is a trend setter.
How do you keep the water in the base of an upside down tree?
I've already bought most of what I am going to buy (not much) for this year. But I'm thinking of buying absolutely nothing for next year. I'll give those close to me cash so they get something. But why reward retailers who hate Christians? No donations. No gifts other than money. Just real time focusing on the real meaning, but only if it is free.
