Who doesn’t love the smell of evergreen in their living room during this festive time of year?  I know I do! There’s just something so “Christmassy” about a real tree that sheds pine needles and smells like a forest, but if the pine needles and mess from a real Christmas tree aren’t for you, here are some alternative Christmas tree ideas using recycled stuff.

We don’t recommend drinking this much beer to accomplish this size of an alternative Christmas Tree. Make a smaller version and invite some friends over to help instead.
