O, Christmas "Tree"

After not having a tree last year and the year before that, I swore I would have a tree this year. I was determined to get one at the very beginning of the month, but as the time for optimal tree-viewing enjoyment grew shorter (we'll be gone for Christmas), and the realization struck that we really had no place to put a tree, I decided to just make do with what we had. What do you do when life hands you lemons? Exactly!
This is what I came up with. Is it a tree? I would say that it's all a matter of perception. I mean, what is a "tree" anyway?
