Christmas may have ended two days ago, but I get even more inspired by the Christmas spirit after spending time with my family over the holidays. In the midst of printing and packing orders, I set up my Magic Christmas Tree and chronicled the crystallization that occurred over the course of the afternoon, from the first “snow” to a crooked, Charlie Brown finish.

Some would say it’s too late for Christmas trees, but now that they’re on sale, you can grow an entire magical forest!

When do your holiday decorations come down for the year?
