Christmas is a few weeks from now, and just around the corner, and people have already started to deck up their hallways with boughs of holly and the centre of attention: your sparkling Christmas tree! Decorating Christmas trees is a time old tradition that has become one of the most loved traditions, which is still being carried out despite all the rituals and traditions that people have started to lose. As you are surrounded with the joyful and serene voice of Christmas carolers around, you will pass by some majestically decorated Christmas tree that will make you wish for one of your own. Christmas decorations will be available everywhere from the dead cheap to the extravagantly expensive. The tree can be decorated well in advance and then be left for months because you just don't feel like disintegrating it and it looks pretty in the TV lounge.
No matter what a Christmas tree deserves or does not, it certainly does require a spectacular top piece! If you do not have a huge budget for it, then you can simply get branches of an old Christmas tree, pair it up with dried flowers or twigs and spray paint them GOLD and pour some glitter on them. You can also buy rolls of cheap ribbons, and tie them up in ribbon bows to hang on the tree. Of course, the multi colored bauble and disco balls available at every one dollar store or pound shop would be your best bet and go for the all traditional look! There is no Christmas tree that can be complete without pine cones, and the best thing is you can simply collect them from the park or street. Get your children involved and make them cut out, color and take their advice on how to make the tree look wonderful. A tree that has your children or nieces and nephews input will look even better and will be memorable for both you and them!
Basically, decorating the tree for Christmas is a family event that you should enjoy with your close loved ones. It is where all the Christmas gifts will be gathered and is a place of happiness and joy. It should be built and designed with the same amount of zeal and your loved ones should actively participate in it. You can get your favorite loved one to put up the top piece in the end as a token of respect. Christmas trees are all about silk, ribbons, flowers, sparkle, glitter and fancy things. Light up your tree with a bunch of fairy lights twirled around it to give it a magnificent appearance. Make sure it's close to the window, so it can be seen by pedestrians or neighbors to cheer them up and put them in the holiday spirit!
Be careful around step-ladders, and make sure you are not wearing your trendy high heels on it! Even if Christmas calls for wearing your new shoes, you should take them off when getting on the step-ladder to put on the top piece.
Great post!!
