This Holidays

Writen by Anne Clarke

All decorating situations tend to evolve around a particular theme. For example: parades, stores, schools and restaurants. They all have a specific motto, color scheme, or even an icon or symbol which appears in the interior and exterior decorations. There are all kinds of different great ideas for Christmas tree themes on the market right now.

TEXT: Of course, it is a bit simpler when you decorate for Christmas, because Christmas is usually the theme in itself. However, many people like to have a color scheme or some other kind of motif for their Christmas tree. There are both ways to use items that you already have, and to find fun ways to splurge on your holiday décor!

· If you are a collector, one of the most exciting Christmas tree themes may be right in your own home! If you have items such as model cars, clowns, stamps, etc, (things that are not too heavy to be used as ornaments) then find ways to attach your collection pieces onto your Christmas tree. This is a great way to showcase your prized collectibles with a festive twist!

· For a child's room, a youthful theme is great! Use a small artificial tree, add a string of lights, and tie on normal, everyday items. These can be crayons, small toys, etc. Add ribbons, bows or any other small decorations. This is a great way to bring, color, light and festivity to your little one's room! If they are a toddler or younger, make sure that the tree is out of reach, though, and that cords are as well.

· Food! This is a fun theme and is easy, inexpensive and beautiful all at once! You can decorate your Christmas tree with candies, popcorn strings, wafers, etc.

The following Christmas tree themes are great holiday ideas. Place a small teacup themed tree on the kitchen table, a snowman theme by the front, door, etc! The sky is your limit when it comes to how creatively you use these themes!

· Nutcracker
· Patriotic: red, white and blue color scheme
· Angels
· Santa Claus and reindeer
· Nativity scene
· Gold stars
· Blue and silver snowflakes
· Snowmen
· Fruit baskets
· Elvis
· Sledding

The use of Christmas tree themes makes it both easier to decide on decorations and the appearance to look great with less work!
