Play "Tree Trivia" and win one of three $100 Amazon gift cards!

We all had so much fun with the first contest, Hometalk has agreed to host another one! I took a walk through a local nursery today and enjoyed the fragrance of newly arrived Christmas trees. While I was there, I took pictures of some of the branch ends. Can you name all four below?

It's trickier than it looks! The contest ends Sunday at midnight and Hometalk will randomly choose the three winners from all correct answers. Happy holidays!

    The computer gerbils have fallen out of their generator wheel and demanded glasses of sweet tea to get them back to work.
