For those of you who didn't believe me (and you know who you are), here's an explanation of "flocking" straight outta Wikipedia. :-)
"Flocking is a decoration process that enhances the way a wide variety of products are experienced by making ordinary surfaces seem far more magical and special. Flocking is the process of depositing millions of little individual cut fiber particles (called "flock") onto the surface of an article for the purpose of increasing its value in terms of the tactile sensation, aesthetics, color and appearance, and/or a wide variety of other functions--such as insulation, slip-or-grip friction, etc. Flocking is used in many ways. One example is on a Christmas tree, which may be flocked with a fluffy white spray to simulate snow."
One quick Google search yields numerous sources for the coveted flocked tree... Target, Amazon.com, Christmas-Direct, Craig's List...
And if that wasn't enough, Target actually sells trees that are pre-lit AND flocked. What more could you ask for??? In May.

i tried explaining the "flocking" story and nick chocking to Henry, but it was nowhere near as funny as it was in person. it was just hysterical! i am so glad we all had lunch together on Friday.
I know! It was definitely a "you had to be there moment"! Nick's choking on chicken just about made me spray iced tea out my nose! We need to take over the Cafe like that more often. :)
Okay, I'm just not getting this one...am I out of the loop!?! Never quite got the whole flocking thing as we were a bare tree sort of family...can only imagine how messy it must be!!!
Ya had to be there! Just a funny sitch where everyone thought that (a.) I was making stuff up (moi??) or (b.) That I was speaking "Canadian" again.
Hmm. none of them ever see Flocked Wallpaper--really, still exists all over the place.... and no, it's not Canadian ;)
