What Some Of The Official Judges Said in 2021

★★★★★
"The black drapes tie in very nicely. The reason this tree didn't get my top vote is because it's for the wrong holiday. They're called Christmas trees not New Years Eve tree trees. Now, don't argue that there's a Merry Christmas sign in the tree. If with the sign it looks like the tree belongs at a New Years Eve party."

"Very sophisticated. Especially like the way the fireplace mantle matches the tree. A word of caution. This tree owner almost blew it with providing too many pictures. A couple are not very flattering of the tree. In one picture there appears to be a potato chip bag on the table and you can see tv cords."

" I must say what a great decorative play on theme with the doves and guitar. All you needed was a picture of prince somewhere. I didnt get the lace. Was that symbolic of his girlfriend "Vanity"? Love the purple lights. The word JOY just added an extra touch of motivation to end the year strong. Overall good colors and theme. Clever way of bringing in all the surrounding lights too. You should pursue a career in decorating."
