Your tree, simple and uncluttered. But a small space requires something smaller. since you don't have these gargantuan pine cones, maybe a small pile of smaller cones, neatly stacked then add some ornaments of some sort and call it good. Improvisation can be fun!

I don't really celebrate the holiday since it isn't "my" holiday as it is from a religion I don't subscribe to but when I have guests I do.

That cone in the second picture is not as big as the two large cones I have, they're probably three or four inches longer and more like the one in the first picture. I have five or six of them, they're in storage right now, the smallest one is the size of a large grapefruit and weighs a pound. When I rinse them off, usually in springtime, they close up but reopen as they dry. Very interesting things. The forest where my cones came from burned down about twenty years ago so these are really special.

Anyway, you'll come up with something, you're resourceful.
