Get Fabulous With These Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas

By Giselle Taylor


It's December once again-- time to welcome Christmas into your abode, and with him, good food and great fellowship. It's definitely one of the most exciting and memorable times of the year you simply cannot miss out on. While it's around, squeeze the fun to its last drop by following these great christmas tree decorating ideas the whole family can join in on.

Less is more applies to make up; it does not follow with tree decorating. That's right, as long as you don't cross the line to excessive gaudiness-the more the merrier with tree decorations. Plan your motif well this year and spare no drop of your creative juices to get to your holiday look objectives.

Ask yourself what look are you going for? The aromatic evergreen fir can be selected and packed at any christmas tree shop. Artificial trees are also good alternatives-it will allow you to do more in terms of sturdiness and convenience. Go wild! If you can think it, it can be done. Are you going for something more specific perhaps? Specialty sites abound with unique creations you can use.

Think of your motif and the complementing color scheme before you commence tree decorating. Create an icy christmas of blue, white and silver. Go classic with rich red and green trimmings around the tree. Supply shades for visitors as you go glittery with gold and silver accessories. Ask the children for their input-they will be more than happy to join in on the planning and creating committee for the special project you will all be undertaking.

This is not Christmas as usual-it's Christmas unusual! Use the typical ornaments but make some space for unique and conversation starting pieces on your tree. Silk flowers, dried sprigs of herbs tied around the limbs are attention getting eye candy. Candles set in gold painted holders fastened and sprinkled on the tree smells of old world. Do not however, light the candles no matter how nice you think they would look-fire accidents have a way of distracting from the essence of Christmas for some reason. Clip on fun and touching pictures of the family to add a personal feel.

You know, you don't need to keep yourself to just one tree. Consider having little trees strews in your home's other rooms. For instance, have a tree in the kitchen and embellish it with spoons and forks. And for laughs, how about putting up a miniature tree by the garage complete with dangling nuts, bolts and colorful key chains on its limbs? Wouldn't that put a smile on someone's face as he passes by?

Top the tree with a special memento. You usually have the classic star or angel and these would do so long as it holds a particular value to your family. Establish the tree crowning ceremony as a tradition everyone, especially the younger children can look forward to as they grow up.

And finally-put on beautiful hymns and holiday carols to play in your home. Of all the christmas tree decorating ideas, you cannot go wrong with this. It is not felt with the eyes and ears, but it resounds in your heart where it truly counts.
