Oh Christmas Tree!

Guess what! I was lucky enough to be offered an opportunity by Collectibles Today to review this beautiful crystal holiday tree. Not only did I get to review it, I got to keep it!

Just look at it!

I was very impressed with the packaging of my tree, the UPS man passed the box - which was heavy, to my husband while I signed for it, and Micah didn't have a good grip and dropped the box. I could have cried! I thought for sure it was broken.

However, Collectibles Today thought ahead to the shoddy grips husbands have, and packaged the tree, securely in Styrofoam. The packaging is downstairs in my storage room so that after Christmas I will have a safe, dust free place to put my new treasure away.

The Thomas Kinkade Christmas Collectibles tree is 13.5 inches high and has a very sturdy base. I was a little disappointed that the lights were so dim in the wee village windows, but the fine detail on the snowmen, people and houses more than makes up for it.

As well as lighting up, this tree has a wee little train riding on the base, and plays several different Christmas songs. There is an on/off button so that you can turn off the music and still have the lights work and the train move, or you can dial down the volume on the tree to have it quiet or louder.

I took this video to show how the train moves, and so that you could listen to the music, but watch my boys, they are absolutely in LOVE with the tree! We are putting up our Christmas Tree tomorrow and all of the plugins we have will be busy with the Christmas lights on the tree BUT - what rocks my monkey socks, is that the tree can run either with its cord (which is removable) or by batteries placed in the underside of the tree, so I can display my new Collectibles Today tree right alongside my six foot Christmas Tree!



This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Collectibles Today. I was asked to give an honest opinion about the product I received. Good reviews are not incentivized and poor reviews will not be censored for the opinion of the product.
