Most of us are familiar with how to decorate a Christmas tree. For some reason every time you decorate your Christmas tree it always looks better further away then closer up or perhaps it resembles the ever so popular Charlie Brown Christmas tree. If you want to avoid a leaning over crowded mess of a tree follow my list of the 12 Top Tips on Decorating Christmas Trees. You will be surprised at some of the information you may have not been familiar with before.
1. Choose what Type Of Tree
There are many advantages to having a fake Christmas tree like cleanup and being able to recycle it for the next year. However some people can’t get over the appeal of a real Christmas tree and simply throwing it out when they’re done. When decorating your Christmas tree the first thing you need to do is decide which type of Christmas tree you want!
2. Secure Your Tree
If you’ve chosen a real Christmas tree make sure that you have the stand intact and the tree nice and sturdy in its place before decorating. Make sure to keep the real tree out of direct sunlight. If you’ve chosen a fake Christmas tree simply start construction from the base up. With either tree make sure to avoid heater vents and ducts when picking the perfect spot.
3. A Theme?
Want a themed Christmas tree? Perhaps you would like to use all silvers on the tree or a teddy bear themed Christmas tree with a teddy bear for the topper and an assortment of bear ornaments? Decide now before you start your decorating. If you would rather stick with the traditional method of decorating your Christmas tree then continue on with your process.
Lovely post with some great tips,
Unfortunately for me Im moving the week before Christmas so everything is going to have to be done in a hurry and although i really love the idea of taking my time and arranging the tree, everything will just have to be thrown on there. hopefully it will look just as good,

Hey Karen,
Well it’s great that you’re still planning to have a Christmas tree. We don’t usually have a tree. But this year we just might. *crossed fingers*

Well for me all Christmas decorations and activities fun. This time of year passes to quickly unfortunately, but I try to take the most of it :)
Decorating my tree is one of the most fun things me and my BF do.
We dedicat the afternoon with christmas songs, sof lights and all the decorations around as. This year we bought new red balls and silver stars. That was our new theme. As for last year me and mum made some hand decorations with glitters and were really looking lovely, but we like to change the look each year. I’ll save this for next year too :)
