ABSTRACT:
An ornamental decoration assembly such as would be used with a Christmas tree is disclosed. The assembly provides a decorative effect with the tree while supporting the tree in place. The assembly includes a base having an ornamental decoration on its upper surface with its bottom surface being constructed to stably rest on a floor, table, or other flat surface. A socket is arranged within the ornamental decoration for receiving the lower portion of the tree's stem. Included within the socket is a tubular member, a guide for positioning the tree so that it is straight, and a flexible loop through which the stem is placed. The loop is attached to a flexible shaft which is connected to the drive shaft of a gear which is driven by a worm. The worm is actuated by a stem which extends upwardly to a point above the decoration surface. By turning the stem the loop may be retracted around the tree stem to lock the tree in fixed position in the socket.
