Decorating the pine trees, which have become the symbol of the New Year, is one of the first steps we need to take when preparing our house for Christmas. If we do not want to change the decor of our house too much for the New Year, but at the same time we want to bring our house to the Christmas spirit, the easiest way to do this is to decorate our Christmas tree. Today I will give you tips on how to prepare your Christmas tree.

Finding a Tree

The first thing you need to do is find a pine tree. You should choose your tree considering the extent of your house. Make sure that the pine tree you choose is healthy and green. Also, do not reprieve your tree selection to the last days of December. Otherwise, you will have to spend this Christmas with the tree you have left, not the tree you want.

You can decide whether you want the Christmas trees you will choose will real or fake. Although the real ones look more alive and smell better than the fake ones, real trees are left to rot in homes instead of their duty to help the environment by reducing carbon footprint. The fake ones do not look as green as the real ones and do not smell good, they allow you to use the same tree for many years. Also, fakes cause less harm to the environment.

You can choose the size of your tree from 6 to 18, whichever is suitable for your home or workplace. The size, real or fake, brand and variety you prefer are the factors that affect the price of the trees you choose. Depending on the tree you choose, these prices range from roughly $5 to $5,000.

Place of the Christmas Tree

After you buy your tree, you can determine a suitable and visible area in your home and place your tree there. Be careful not to place your tree in a sunny area. Also, if you want your tree to stay green and durable for a long time, don’t forget to water it.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

When it comes to decorating a Christmas tree, the first thing people think is that we need to create a tree with lots of sparkle and splendor. But don’t let generalizations or the image of the Christmas tree shown in movies deter you from thinking about how you want to decorate your Christmas tree.

When decorating your tree, don’t forget to consider your own styles and the style of whoever you’re sharing the tree with. Christmas decorations in different styles do not make your tree messy, on the contrary, they add richness to your tree.

You can consider various decorative accessories when you are ornament your Christmas tree. My advice to you is to decorate your tree with different Christmas ornaments. For example, you can hang ball and bell ornaments in different colors on your tree and decorate your tree with different charms. You can also personalize your tree with letter ornaments that show the initials of your family members. Snowflake ornaments, red hearts, mirror balls and nutcrackers are some other alternatives you can choose.

You don’t have to decorate your tree with just trinkets or Christmas tree lights. You can hang gift and candy bags on your tree and enrich it by placing biscuits and candies.

You can decorate your Christmas tree alone or with your family and/or friends. In this way, you will have a fun time with them, and you will understand that you are a good partner when you finish decorating your tree.

You can put the things you want to give each other as gifts under the tree in packages with ribbons and continue with the other Christmas preparations after you have finished decorating your tree.

Finally, remember that you don’t have to be content with just decorating your Christmas tree. You can decorate every part of your home with candles, snow sprays, and also garlands.
