christmas trees sliced into four parts vertically.
each chopped down tree will decorate four homes at yuletide. they will cost less, save space, require a fourth of the amount of decorations, cut down by a fourth on the amount of dropped needles, more easily carried over the shoulder without losing
any of the length. “Hi Ho, Hi Ho! its off to work we go!” – oops sorry, where was I?
these sliced trees will fit really neatly into a corner of the room and are less likely to be tipped over by the cat or a drunken Santa.

though a drunken santa might not knock it over, you know what he does in the corner, right? heh |
|
| |
that's o.k. a christmas tree should be watered regularly. |
|
| |
"Anthony's family has a full tree, daddy." |
|
| |
"Anthony lives in a broken home. Just open your damn presents." |
|
| |
Any reports of a drunken Santa should be reported to the police - drunk in charge of a fully-laden sleigh is a serious offence. |
|
| |
Fantastic idea, rich families that normally get a whole tree could get 4 for each corner of the living room, creating a christmas grotto scene to impress the relatives/santa. |
|
| |
If a drunk santa does not knock the tree down, a few hyperactive kids trying to climb the christmas tree will. A good tree tends to waste a great deal of space unless you put it in the middle of the room. |
|
| |
Even the use of an electric bush trimmer to cut away 70% of the tree or so will make it much easier to position it in the room without using excess space. Most times the gifts end up under one side or one corner of the tree. |
|
| |
this 90° tree needs a one pointy star to go on top. |
|
| |
Those of us with odd-shaped houses could possibly benefit from a 3/4 tree to fit a convex corner! |
|
| |
Or multiple half-trees along a long corridor! |
|
| |
Fabulous festive idea!
Would putting 2 mirrors behind it help make it look whole, and even more fantabulous? |
|
| |
this is a real christmas tree - don't be fooled by imitations... |
|
| |
Wouldn't a lot of sap drip out the huge cut in the side of the tree? |
|
| |
I'll take two. One for the corner of the living room and one for the corner on the other side of the wall, in the dining room, so it appears there is a tree inside the wall. |
|

Last Christmas, we attended a party where the Christmas tree had been sawn off about two thirds up to fit the room - it looked like it was growing through the ceiling. (No idea at all why they didn't saw off the *bottom* third. Perhaps they sold the top to someone else.) |
|
| |
Our own tree this year has a pronounced curve to the trunk - wouldn't work too well for splitting in four. |
|
| |
not easy to cut. My friend who works at the farm lost two fingers in a log splitter. |
|
| |
I don't want to be a grinch, but isn't this just Kaleidoscopic
Christmas Tree without the mirrors? |
|
| |
Boned because of what JHC said |
|
| |
I think that the tree would tend dry out faster since a lot of it would be missing. And while it drys out it would dry out on the cut side faster than the branch side resulting in a bent tree. |
|
| |
Maybe if the tree had a special corner stand that kept if from bending? |
|

Thought I'd voted [+] on this last year. I hadn't. Now I have. Forgot to suggest it to the Mrs. today when she bought the widest, bushiest tree in the shop. For the next month I'll be sharing the living room with a presence larger than me, and I don't like it. Something a quarter of the size would have sufficed. |

//Something a quarter of the size would

[+] for the idea. |
|

//Wouldn't a lot of sap drip out the huge cut in the side of the tree?// That's on purpose, the sticky sap can be used to affix the tree to the wall. |
|

Sounds like it would be tricky to cut, but my word is this a great idea. |
