For the Glocksen-Ruzicka family, their upside-down tree is one of two Christmas trees in their home.
“Everyone is just so confused [when they see it for the first time], Gina Glocksen-Ruzicka, the owner of an upside-down tree, tells. “They always ask, ‘how is it standing?’ and if there’s some sort of symbolism behind it like maybe we don’t believe in Christmas.”
The upside-down tree has been part of the family for 16 years. Glocksen-Ruzicka says she was window shopping with her then-boyfriend, now husband, in Wisconsin when they spotted the unusual tree. The couple ended up purchasing the tree from American Sale. While the company does not feature one on the website currently, a search shows upside-down trees available at Wayfair and Amazon.
The inverted tree solved the problem. “The skirt is on top and the presents are on top. The cats just walked right by,” she says. But for the Glocksen-Ruzicka family, the tree is just something “fun and unique.” Glocksen-Ruzicka notes that their family itself is unique, as both she and her husband are musicians. Before she was married, Gina Glocksen was a contestant on “American Idol.”
