2015 Christmas Tree Pageant

2015 Christmas Tree Pageant

Thanks for all the Christmas Tree submissions!There were 44 Christmas Trees entries this year. Our family was so excited to see all the Christmas Trees from friends and family all across Canada.

The judging criteria was determined a few weeks ago with the intention of giving all trees a fair chance at winning. Some of the entries were very stunning, but may not have scored well based on the judging criteria. If your tree was scored incorrectly please know that it was an honest mistake. Every effort was made to score each tree as high as possible. Please do not be offended if your tree did not score as high as you would have hoped. All of these Christmas trees (with a few exceptions) are beautiful in their own unique way. This contest was all in good fun, and to help out a charity along the way.

An exceptional example of an East Coast Christmas Tree! Candy Canes and Ribbons would have made this tree a contender!
