Charlie Brown Christmas Trees
Whenever one of the trees in the yard grew a little lopsided, we called it a Charlie Brown tree. Of course, we would never cut them down for the holidays. They were the wrong species on top of that.
I was alerted by One of a Kind Wisconsin that this year, Charlie Brown Christmas trees were being sold. Michelle found it in Mill’s Farm & Fleet 2008 Trim & Gift Catalog. I also found that 18″ versions are available at Sears. A 24″ version is available at a costume supply website I also found here. They can’t beat the $9.99 price at Mill’s Farm, but then I do not know the size and have not investigated the shipping costs from each place.
If you are looking for a nostalgic tree, and want something small, it is sure to bring back memories of the long running Christmas special. You might also want to have a traditional tree, and then put this one on a hall table or such.

I still think people should make them it seems so weird to buy a “Charlie Brown” tree… the show was about commercialism. I wonder what Charles Shultz would have said- perhaps he would have licensed just about anything peanuts related. You never know…. thanks so much for the link!
I made mine. Cut a branch off my cedar tree and drilled holes into it. Sealed the branch. I then glued the fake tree branches from a trashed artifical tree. I bought a glittery red ornament for 99 cents and viola! Its done! I am an artist and I bought to 4ft wood sheet from Home Depot. i drew Charlie Brown and Snoopy on em. Then took a hand saw and cut them out. The wood sheet is very easy to cut. After I drew them on I sealed the wood preserving the images. I could sell this set up for about $100. It cost me $5 for the wood boards.
