Christmas trees. Funny, interesting, useless - photos

Did you have enough of those classic Christmas trees? Me neither. Anyway others seem to have done just that and invented all sorts of alternatives to the traditional Christmas tree. Nothing to say really; their ideas are really ok. But wait till you see what came to their mind.... Trees made out of books, or emplty beer bottles. Out of wood or plywood. Electronic Chrismas tree or the ladder one. For starters the Christmas tree made ouf of a coloured pencil.

The next on our list is the plywood tree. Its designer brags about his invention being 80% environmentally safer. How's that? Isn't that wood too? Whatever....

We have next the LED Tree, inspired by computer games. We're talking about a Pac Man version, where LED creatures chase one another. To eat one onother, what did you think? They don't care it's Christmas.

The books Christmas tree. It's the invention of a library in Aalborg, Denmark. Interesting idea to draw customers....

We stick to books. Not that anyone reads them. At least they're more useful this way.

The tree down here evokes a Central Europe 12 century tradition. That of hanging the tree on the ceiling, upside down. In this case having the tree turned gives you more room for presents. If I knew Santa Clause brought me more presents, I'd place the tree this way myself. Which.... won't be the case :)

A Christmas tree as original as it can get. Made out of emply bottles. I know they had a drink in that house.

For the next two pictures we have a device that simply projects the image of a tree on the wall. I mean in this case we don't even have a physical tree. What can I say, it's better than nothing.

They call the next one the modern tree. Far away from classic tree. Well so much for the future.

This one is the nerds' tree. Made out of a series of LEDs, a computer fan that keeps spinning to create the image on a tree. If the fan stops, good bye Oh Christmas tree....

There's nothing much to say about the next tree. It's made out of a ladder. Actually it's just a ladder ornated with bulbs and everything. It's the thought that counts after all.

If I didn't tell you the next one is a Christmas tree you wouldn't have a clue, right? Yes, it's made out of wood, individual pieces. Has holes for candles and it looks like old stuff. Good in need.


The origami Christmas tree. Makes a good impression if put in an office or so.


The neon light Christmas tree. Created for the Oxford Circus.
