Gnomes Really Do Grow On Trees
"Gnomes are good luck. Some live underground and protect the ground, especially minerals and buried treasures. Others protect gardens and livestock. And the special woodland gnomes protect the forest and your Christmas tree. They have become so integral to tree live that they literally grow from the trees. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself! Dressed with a trendy Buffalo plaid fabric hat in the tradition of the lumberjack, these quick to make gnomes are great ornaments to adorn your tree and offer mythical protection to your home."
