Creating a theme Christmas tree
By Catalogs Editorial Staff
Part of the fun of Christmas is all of the preparation and planning ? especially the decorating! And what could be more important than the design of your Christmas tree?
With so many different ornament styles available, creating a theme Christmas tree is easy. When creating a themed Christmas tree, begin by thinking of your family’s personal tastes and hobbies. What activities do you enjoy? Is there an important milestone approaching? These questions will help you get started.
Still need help? Check out these themes:
Try just one ornament or color. A great Christmas tree theme can involve selecting one ornament style and then repeating it throughout your tree. Use a variety of Santa Claus or angel ornaments. Or select all white ornaments, ribbons and lights. The color can match your room d?cor, the season, or just you favorite color.
Celebrate life events. If someone in your family is getting married, having a baby, buying a house or celebrating another milestone, create a tree to mark the occasion. Or remember those no longer around the tree in person with a tree hung with small, framed photos and other symbols of their lives.
