Buying and Decorating The Christmas Tree Alone



When it concerns Christmas traditions, you don't need to decorate the Christmas tree until about twelve days ahead of Christmas, and if it's a real tree, the closer to Christmas the better so there will be less pine needle dropping incidents. The crucial thing is that you take down the tree by twelfth night, which is the Epiphany, 6 January.

Almost like padded bras and fake tans, plastic Christmas trees are also good, but not as good as the true thing. If going traditional, don't be tacky. There is one rule you must not break: trees are always green. Blue, white, red, gold, or silver trees are not good options.

When you purchase a real fir tree, pick the freshest one obtainable. To test this, grasp a twig towards you; a small number of needles, if any, should drop. If you could lightly shake or bounce it, and it leaves a pool of pine needles or leaves, pick another one. If you are not decorating immediately, store the Christmas tree in an inch-deep of water, the most ideal place woud be in a garage out of the wind or sun. You should set up the Christmas tree in a corner. Keep it far from radiators, because this will cause it to dry up and die.

Sweep or clean the area under the tree daily to avoid leaf build-up.

An undecorated tree is a distressing sight. The first embellishment must be the star on top, mainly as you may want to bend the tree to place it. The star is going to inspire you on how the tree is filled. Then place the lights. These will certainly fuse but its needs to be added at this moment so you can guarantee that they are evenly distributed. Wind the lights from top to bottom, in the direction of the plug socket. Candles are fancy but opt for the electrical sort, as real flames on trees are fire hazards. Then set out decorating over the tree your themed embellishments. Do you have a color theme? Is it traditional or outlandish? Minimalist or packed full? Is it child-friendly or just for you? If it has goodies, be careful not to place them next to the lights as these could melt.
