It just hit me one day.
Like back in July. Yep, when it was 100
degrees.
degrees.
Mr. Big Stuff needed a Sock Monkey Christmas
Tree.
Tree.
The Sock Monkey collection started when he was born. The handful of monkey’s he had received as gifts were sitting on a shelf in his nursery.
The collection grew when we received this precious sock monkey ornament from his Nana & Papa the first year he was born.
This summer, when I came across a few more at the Goodwill,
I was committed to pulling this Sock Monkey tree together.
Isn’t there just something about Sock Monkeys that feel festive?

So for the past 6 months or so, I have been collecting sock monkeys.
Most of them were a buck each from the Goodwill.
I cannot believe how many I was able to find!
A sock monkey tree wouldn’t be complete with a Monkey on Parade!
I just added the red wagon at the base with Mrs. Sock Monkey for an extra playful
touch.
touch.
The Sock Monkey Christmas Tree concept got the finishing touch when I found this tree at the Goodwill for $5, complete with the lights. And the black and white checked burlap ribbon was leftover from my pumpkin topiaries.
So, this whole monkey-get-up was probably about $20.
Do you have a children’s themed tree?

This is adorable. I'm a huge sock monkey fan.
My great grandmother always gave her grandchildren a handmade gift for Christmas. One year we all received Sock Monkeys! I would love to have a Sock Monkey Christmas Tree just like this!
Love it!
