Christmas for the Critters Part 2 & something that might shock you!

More photos from the day of decorating the Christmas for the Critters Tree for the Parade of Trees at Mariners Landing.
What started out as a simple chopped down invasive species became a beautiful "Christmas for the Critters" Tree!
DETAILS ON HOW TO VOTE CAN BE FOUND HERE, OR READ THE ARTICLE BELOW.
Front Row L - R: Dick H, Meg B, Linda B. Back Row: St Nick, Shellie L and Kathy S. Charlotte H was with us in spirit due to all the fun ornaments she made!

A close up shot of some of our ornaments, this nifty Noel was made by Dick H.
Many hands made fun work!

The biggest bird's nest was placed in front of the tree on the burlap skirt
We had all sorts of wildlife enticing treats on the Critter Tree
Remember everyone, mum is the word on the "fun" we had!
Running cedar made a neat garland
Whoever wins the bid on this tree will have an immediate smorgasbord outside their house for happy critters!
We had all sorts of cool stuff for this Critter Tree, natural and food stuffs
The critters even have some snack items like pretzels and ritz crackers
The natural touch of burlap was used as a tree skirt

BRFAL information table and sign up sheet if anyone wants more info about our Virginia Master Naturalist Chapter
NOW FOR THE SHOCKING PART
Oddly enough we found Santa sings Karaoke in the off season, so we enlisted his help with our tree. But we think he is used to the elves doing all the work, because instead of working he insisted on singing his rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" Who knew there were so many stanzas?
We cannot reveal anything else to you, since he is in the St Nicklaus Protection Program (in Jersey they will bust your knees for less information)
VOTE FOR OUR TREE!
Our Chapter could win $300 and you could win a cool gift basket.
