Let's tour some very special trees... These trees are part of an annual charity event called The Christmas Tree Brunch put on by a division of Assistance League... each tree is decorated by members of the organization... tickets are sold at the event by young members called Assisteens... people tour the trees and out tickets in the box for the trees they would like to win!
Each tree is uniquely decorated with a theme! Not only do you win decorated trees, but FABULOUS presents under the trees... gift cards, cash, vacations and more!
Are you feeling lucky... you can gamble on this tree..
After everyone has had enough time to tour the trees... lunch is served...
This year's table favor...
A lovely chicken breast with rice in a cream sauce with asparagus followed a yummy salad of baby greens and an incredible dressing to die for (ooops... forgot to snap a photo)...
Dessert for kids was a fruit tart... note the little confetti... they are Micky Mouse confetti (ooops... forgot to mention... this event was held at the Disneyland Hotel)...
Adult dessert... chocolate mousse bombe...
While eating and drinking and being MERRY... tickets are drawn and winners are announced and then you must take home your Christmas tree and all the treasures under it... here are some more of the trees... an upside down tree... the items under it or should I say on top of it were FAB... this was the tree I wanted to win... but alas I did not win anything... sigh...
A country snowman tree...
A fancy tree with a jar of money...
Another pretty tree...
And you could even win SANTA and he came with $1000.00... isn't he GORGEOUS!
This is a WONDERFUL event to benefit children in need. The last couple years we have gone as a family and it gets everyone into the Holiday Spirit!
I hope you ENJOYED the Christmas tree tour! NOW... off you go on some more Holiday Tours via Julia's Holiday House Tours...
P.S. Here are some other sites that are having Holiday Tours...

What a wonderful event! The trees are gorgeous, and the food looks so delicious!
What a fabulous idea! I love it! It looks like so much fun, and for such a good cause.
How do those upside-down trees work, I wonder? You'd think they'd topple right over. I saw one for the first time last week--is this the new trend?
Thanks for joining my blog party! -Julia :-)
Fifi, What a great tour ... love that first tree. I found a great site the other day - a festival of trees in utah. Those trees were stunning!
What a great tour...so sorry you didn't win any of those amazing Christmas goodies. But it looks like you had a yummy meal! I would have been hoping for that Santa....he is stunning!
I have never seen anything like that kind of event before - looks fantastic, mmmm particularly the food...
I love that last pic.
Merry Christmas!!!!
Those trees are wonderful and yes, that Santa is a wow! Thanks for sharing!
Great event! I would have loved to land that upside down one myself. :-)
Although I love decorating my tree... the idea of winning one "to go" is very appealing!
I'm joining Julia's blog party too... just as soon as I finish uploading my pics...
What fun! I loved those trees. Does the inverted tree hang from the ceiling? Oh I wish I had the space for that.
Wow, what a great tour. We had a Festival of Trees in the town that I am from too. The addition of gifts under the tree really adds an additional element to the event. Wish we would have thought to do that.
Thanks for the Christmas tour...the meal looked wonderful also
Oh Fifi, I loved that tour. If I lived there that would certainly be on my "to do" list for the holidays.
looks like a fab event.
and nothing could be better than an event for children in need.

Chocolate mousse bombe? I'll take that!

Hi, Fifi, thank you for stopping by! All your trees are gorgeous and that food makes me hungry. I have got to learn how to make those blog buttons. Thank you for that one! I'll have to save it to use next year.
What a great event!
Next year you need to do a tree!

Oh Fifi....any of that wonderful chocolat dessert left??
Gorgeous inspiration...as always!
What beautiful trees AND food! I love food almost as much as I love Christmas!!!
I love those Christmas tree fundraisers; thanks for inviting us to the one you attended. I remember seeing an upside down Christmas tree in a magazine a few years ago. Loved seeing the one in your post.
Very pretty, Fifi! :)
Very pretty trees, thanks for sharing! (and thanks for stopping by my place today!)
Thank you for this fantastic tour - and what a good cause..!
Thanks for popping by my blog..:)
Wonderful!

I will check out the others you listed:)
thank you for stopping by!

LOVE the upside down tree. Too fun!
I enjoyed seeing all those trees! That upside down one is amazing - I haven't seen too many of those this year!
Manuela
what a neat idea for a fundraiser - just lovey - thanks le
Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping by my Christmas Home Tour! I've seen your paintings on a few different sites and ADORE your use of vibrant colors! I have great appreciation, as I can't draw a stick figure without screwing it up!
Love the trees, but what I'd really love is living close enough to go hang out at Disneyland. I was there in 1985 for the 30th year celebration and that's the last time I've been to Disneyland. I know--boo-hoo for me, right??
One of these days...But it will probably be Disneyworld instead. Much closer to Michigan!
These are perfect stuff for Christmas.
