Every time I see this it fascinates me. Tumbleweeds make a beautiful Christmas tree.Just don't touch. How did it get started? Read below.
History of the Tumbleweed Christmas Tree
In 1957, Chandler resident Earl Barnum raised the idea of a tumbleweed tree after he saw a similar one in Indiana built out of cone-shaped chicken wire with pine boughs stuck in the holes. Members of the community helped create the first tree in Chandler using tumbleweeds that they gathered from around town.
Since then, this annual tradition has blossomed into a must-see attraction for Christmastime visitors to Arizona, featuring some of the best talent and most dazzling displays of lights in the region, and the parade started just a few years after the first tumbleweed tree was constructed and has since grown into a city-wide event.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
