Just a few days to Christmas and this year I tried to find some special Christmas tree. In a time when you try something new to discover that what is really new is old (I mean the tendency of the Vintage, the re-enactment and / or reworking of parts: trends worthy of respect given the times we live in!) is really hard to find a Christmas tree that has not already seen.
Last year I published the photo of the tree Hello Kitty , thus rewarding the most childlike of me. It was a pink tree, obviously with themed decorations. This year I decided to publish the photo of the Christmas tree in the world's largest optical fiber, made by Charles Koa , Nobel Prize for Physics 2009 (father of fiber optics for the note): more than 4 million optical fiber to help the research against the disease. The tree was installed in a shopping mall in Hong Kong. But I wanted something different, something that was at hand rather than a mouse click away! It is one thing around the city and find something random or try to photograph, the other is set on a web search for Christmas trees. I finally found the right tree.
But why then, do the tree? It 's true that it is a pagan tradition that is rooted in the tradition of Nordic (Germanic), not ours, but with a noble meaning. The word "fir " means birth, origin. For the Celts, the tree was a symbol of long life. Even the lights of the tree have a meaning: the candles that represent the second Martin Luther (supporter of the Protestant Reformation), are the light of Jesus By now the tree pagan and Christian tradition of the crib traveling side by side and, in the dispute between supporters of both supporters of the other, I think, is right that there is a tie ... .. Never before, since we are talking about was global!
But back to us. Changing gender, pitch and tone we pass from the accessory essentials. This year I chose to present a Christmas tree elegant but minimal, little better or a little decorated and equipped at the same time done with those who have always been the excellence of women accessories: handbags, bags of miniatures in this case that make the tree structure with a few tiny ball here and there. It could not be otherwise since it's in the windows of a well-known flagship store of Italian stock. The shaft is suspended and inverted.
Suspended? Right! Are not we all up in this life? We live at the mercy of events beyond our control.
Flipped? How many times have we said or heard that this world is going on the contrary, instead of going forward we go back, etc, etc .... So, the modern world is now upside down.
We can only interpret the trees in a subjective way, classic or not ... and for those last minute. Sbizzarritevi, remember that red and gold dominate this year and now that the decorations are already discounted.
Merry Christmas
