Description
Every December on the island, the harbor fills with boats strung with lights, and at least one sailor insists on bringing home his Christmas tree by water. Picture it lashed upright in the bow, ornaments chiming with every wave, as the little boat chugs past the lighthouse and the gulls circle overhead in disbelief. On the dock, neighbors in fisherman’s sweaters cheer him in, and someone always asks whether the tree got seasick on the crossing.
This box shows a Christmas tree riding in a boat, with a Nantucket theme that is pure seaside joy. It is a wonderful present for a sailor, a summer resident who misses the island in winter, or anyone who decorates with shells and driftwood. Place it on a windowsill facing the water, among coastal holiday decor, or on a bookshelf next to a well-thumbed tide chart, and it will bring a breath of salt air to the season. It also pairs nicely with lighthouses, anchors and whale motifs for anyone who keeps a seaside theme going all year round.
