Palm Tree for Christmas

Could there be a more suitable material to use for a Christmas tree than palm branches, which have symbolized victory and rejoicing from the time of Christ to the present day? This tree possesses a majesty which bears witness through its graceful branches to the dynamic rhythm of the Universe.

Arrange the branches to resemble a tree. Place six palm branches 6 1/2 feet long in the top of a length of bamboo, 7" in diameter x 3' long.

Wire three 6" chartreuse balls to florist sticks and arrange at the top of the bamboo trunk. String other chartreuse balls of graduated sizes onto No. 18 wire to form a long, graceful festoon. Wire to a florist stick and thrust into the sand. If this tree is to be seen from both sides, make a similar arrangement of balls for the opposite side.
