Inverted Christmas Trees

Not that i have seen any, but apparently hanging your Christmas Tree upside down is becoming a thing especially amongst the religious crowd.
According to the local vicar, an inverted Christmas tree began during the Middle Ages to symbolise the Trinity and the crucifixion of Christ although it has fallen out of favour in modern times, mainly i imagine due to the problems of fixing a 6ft Conifer to the ceiling without it coming tumbling down on your head as you suck down a mince pie. 
There are some pictures on the internet of upside down trees in shopping centres and it does look quite fetching suspended from the ceiling, with its tip pointing down but i think for now i will stick with the more traditional sticking it in the corner and wedging presents around the base to stop it falling over.
