2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/2 c. pimento olives chopped
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
4-5 slices dried beef (optional)

Mix first 5 ingredients together; press out on tray and form "tree."

Green bell pepper for star
Pimentos for garland
Chopped parsley and/or green onions

Star at top -- cut out of a green bell pepper. Garland -- pimentos zig-zagged from one side to the other. Then sprinkle chopped parsley and/or green onions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. The longer it sets, the better it is. (Put toothpicks in it to keep cover off cheese.)
