Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree

The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree, a popular children’s book by Gloria Houston, inspired the Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree Project.

The Project’s goal is to help Mitchell County residents improve their quality of life and achieve financial independence by creating home-based businesses. A portion of the royalties from the sale of these products will be used for scholarships for Mitchell County high school students.

The Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree Store, located in downtown Spruce Pine, features unique, hand made products including pottery, weaving, furniture and decorative items.

The non-profit project has received wide acclaim and has been featured on HGTV, and in a PBS documentary. Hand-blown glass ornaments from the collection were included in the 2006 White House Christmas.
