5 unique themes for decorating a Christmas tree
It’s easy for families to fall into a rut with decorating the Christmas tree. Every year they bring out the same decorations – the same round glass ornaments, lights, tinsel and a star for the top of the tree. After a while the same old thing gets boring! If you’re looking for fresh new ideas to decorate your Christmas tree, look no further. We have five unique decoration themes that will make your holiday tree much more interesting.
The patriotic tree
Any family can appreciate a Christmas tree decorated in red, white and blue, and it’s especially appropriate if your family members are veterans or currently serving our country. After the Fourth of July, it’s time to stock up on items for this decorative theme. Look for small American flags, stars, empty firecracker boxes and other patriotic memorabilia. Large red, white and blue pompoms can also be a nice touch on a patriotic tree because they give the impression of a firecracker or sparkler.
The children’s tree
For a family with small children, this decorating theme is especially enjoyable. Children’s trees should be whimsical and young at heart, covered in toy trains, dolls, candies and anything that is enjoyable for children. Small boxes of crayons, paint sets, chalk, toy cars, small books and balloon animals are other fun ideas. Remember that with children’s Christmas trees, it is extremely important to consider the age of the children in the home and choose an age-appropriate decoration. You don’t want to decorate with items that could pose a choking hazard.
The Animal Lovers Tree
Not all families have children; some have pets instead. If you’re an animal lover, why not decorate a special Christmas tree just for your beloved companion? Obviously, the types of decorations used will vary depending on the type of pet you have. For a dog, dog-themed chew toys and ornaments are a good place to start. If you have cats in your home, look for small cat toys, boxes of catnip (tightly sealed, of course) and cat ornaments.
The sports team tree
Many families have a favorite sports team that they follow. Why not decorate your holiday tree to show your team spirit? Start by choosing all the decorations in your team’s colors. Then add special team memorabilia, including any small items with the team logo on them. Old ticket stubs from past games can also be a fun touch.
The Christmas tree
If you’re someone who spends most of your holiday season looking forward to the New Year and the many parties and celebrations that accompany it, then a Christmas tree might be just what you’re looking for. Fun decorations can include noisemakers, small plastic Christmas babies, plastic champagne glasses, empty mini champagne bottles, corks and party hats. This tree will be especially nice if you organize a New Year’s party at home.
Remember that decorating a unique and interesting holiday tree does not have to be difficult. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to decorating themes, so have fun and don’t be afraid to try something new this year!
