Tips & Warnings
Think of all the sizes Christmas trees come in-painted black, they are Halloween trees! The tree can be any of the following sizes: • a tabletop version for a dessert buffet, office break room or as a hostess gift • full-size from which the goblins can choose their treat when they come knocking • somewhere in between.
