Sheer cost, and my dog's clumsiness have been deterrents against my buying a decent Christmas tree over the years, but I recently discovered an idea that may just change my holiday decorating game, and it can be done with an item I have no shortage of...books!

I first found this idea in a Facebook post, then turned to Pinterest and YouTube for more info and instructions . You can do this as a full tree or a tabletop size, depending on how many books and how much time you have. Try this and let me know how it goes for you, and when Riley grows up and calms down a bit, it's totally on!
