I have one tree that stays in the armoire all the time. When the holidays are over I just close the doors and it is a perfectly innocent piece of furniture until next year. Along with my tree I also leave my Dickens Village up all year long.
The tree in the armoire is when I have hung some of Doug's finest scroll saw work. I place samples of every years' ornaments on the tree along with some very special ones he has made

tree on Christmas eve. The child that woke up on Christmas morning and found the pickle hidden on the tree got an extra present.
