Book lovers and Christmas celebrations may not seem like a natural fit, but these trees are taking this connection to a whole new level.

After all, you only get one chance to choose the right Christmas tree each year. A tree that is constructed entirely out of books might not seem like a common idea but they are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Of course, most of us have shelves full of books that we are never going to read again. It can be hard to find good usage for these classics.

While they can be donated to charity, there are some who might be looking to get some use out of the books in their own homes. The book tree that you are about to witness is the best possible example of this. If you are looking to swap out the live Christmas tree for a better option, the book tree is the way to go. It is a wonderful way to stand out from the crowd this holiday season.

Not only do you get the benefits of the new and interesting Christmas tree but you also get to avoid the usual drawbacks. Who wants to spend their December sweeping up pine needles? Not us, that is for sure. You can also avoid the annoyance that is associated with trying to keep your curious pets from attempting to gobble up the fallen pine needles.
