Last January I posted a photo essay called Deconstructing the Elvis Tree. This Christmas it seemed only appropriate to show you how the Elvis Tree is created. The Elvis Tree is an artificial white tree (from K-Mart of course) decorated with blue lights, blue bulbs and all Elvis themed ornaments. A model of Graceland under the tree is the final touch each year.
So here, in entirely un-Photoshopped photos is the construction of the Elvis Tree:

This was such an incredible post and hilarious series of photos. It proves to the world that if something feels good to you - do it for yourself.
Thanks Miss Bliss, I actually do if for the cats. They like to mess with Graceland and knock over the fans waiting outside the fence.
I remember that post well Tim and think it was the one that got me hooked on Your awesome blog. I've been coming back ever since! Thank You for the good times.
Hugs,

Simply breathtaking!
Thanks Gina! Hard to believe it has been a year. Hope you have a great Christmas.
Kristy,
I knew you could appreciate it.
Thanks Lights, Hope you have a great holiday as well.
Elvis would be proud!
I love the crescendo of unfolding! Too brilliant Tim.
Merry Elvismas, JP
JP, the temptation is to say, "Thank you, thankyouverymuch..." But then I couldn't live with myself. Merry Elvisness to you as well.
Now don't that wanna make me come over ta your place for christmas..........OHHHHHHH
Yeah!
I love the photo series. Especially the way you stood in almost the exact same place while taking the first several. You look as good in a white tree tutu as you did the pink.
I also absolutely loved the story about your childhood in the previous entry. Didn't have time to comment till now. I didn't know anyone with one of those aluminum jobs. No one I knew had something that schnazzy. Fantastic story.
Hey Whitesnake, welcome back. How was holiday?
Thanks Shandi,
Glad you liked the tutu. And the story was fun to remember. I'm not even sure my brothers remember it now. And the aluminum tree was pretty fancy for us!
