My tree is a wall tree like the 1st tree, it is book-related like the 2nd tree & it has garland like the 3rd tree. Poor 10 cent “Contract Bridge Complete” thrift store book that I tore apart. Sorry Charles H. Goren (author of the book):

Goodbye Thanksgiving. Hello Christmas. Like most folks at this time of year, I TOO am searching for a Christmas tree.
