Good morning, lovely dreamers! And welcome to another Christmas infused article here on the Dreaming of Butterflies blog.
Updated November 2021.
Christmas is a very confusing and tiring time when you’re officially an adult, don’t you think?
Now you have to do it all: from cleaning, decorating, shopping and packing the gifts and let’s not forget, acting surprised when you open them. This, added to being responsible with your money (aka on a budget), can take the fun out of Christmas completely… If you let it. But we don’t want to let it… do we?

As we’re sitting in bed, me, being Maya, in my Hogwarts onesie and Andy in his Assassin’s Creed Pj that we got for Christmas a few years ago, re-watching Harry Potter and enjoying each other’s company, we thought about how big and space consuming were the Christmas trees we used to have back home when we were kids.
Even though they were almost as beautiful as the ones Hagrid brings to Hogwarts every year, and they smelled amazing, we try to be more conscious now when it comes to the Christmas trees that we have in our home.
Since we moved on our own almost 10 years ago, we limited ourselves to minimalistic and different Christmas trees throughout the years. From ones that are just a few inches tall, in a pot, that can stand on the table or on the floor, to artificial ones of various sizes, to a completely white one, to simply having a drawing of a Christmas tree on the window (while renovating), we had them all.
For this year, we’re searching for something different, that’s why we thought, why not share our findings with you, our lovely dreamers? That’s how this list was born.
Let’s bring the fun back, while saving the forests as well, shall we?
But enough with the chit-chatting! Let’s get to it!
