You weren't kidding! It is really upside down. At first I thought you just posted the picture upside down. Got to show the kids. Never seen anything like it but it makes sense the ornaments hang very nice this way.

The tree has its own stand that supports it that way. no strings no nothing but the stand. Have had it for about 5 years new. Love it because besides being different the most used up room is at the ceiling and with dogs need I say more LOL!!! plus we put a train around it also.
First time my GS seen it at the age of 4 looked at the tree looked at grammy. (Mind you he's always been a old man) and said well gram I'm here to help decotae your tree but I don't know how to tell you this, and sorry to hurt your feelings BUT do you know you put in upside down. The concern in his little face sp priceless. left us all in tears

Liked your tree. We live in a small cottage and have done this for the past few years hanging the tree from a hook in the ceiling. It's not as big as yours so doesn't reach the floor and this gives us a pretty tree with still more floor space underneath. Happy Christmas when it comes!
