    Abstract: A Christmas tree-chandelier combination includes a chandelier assembly and a series of swag assemblies. The chandelier assembly includes a vertical support structure, and a series of lamp assemblies equal in number to the swag assemblies. Each swag assembly includes a spine element, a series of re-positionable, twistable branchlike structures, and swag-based fastening structures such as hooks for removably fastening the respective swag assemblies to the vertical support structure. The spine has a primary spine axis and a spine length. The branchlike structures are connected to the spine and extend radially outward therefrom along the spine length. Each swag assembly is attachable to the vertical support structure and the branchlike structures are positionable relative to one another for subtending a series of angles about the primary spine axis and defining a treelike sector. Together, the treelike sectors effect a treelike appearance about the vertical support structure.
