I really like eclectic trees, and I think a tree is *much* nicer if it has some personal meaning. Ornaments that you or your kids have done, maybe a special ornment you buy each year, or photo ornaments. Everything "goes" because everything is Christmas.
However, if you are decorating for a shop, then go for white lights, and splurge for the gold skirt. Or better yet, buy red ornaments. Too much stuff on a store tree looks tacky, and gets knocked down too easily. Simple and elegant is best.
RE: Manger question. It's OK under the tree until you start getting presents -- then the manger can get buried. If it's a personal tree, maybe the kids want to be playing with the manger (which I think is great) so it's best to put it a little beside the tree. If for a store, manger under the tree sounds good (until the first customer complaint), maybe with some fake presents wrapped up.

no manger. that's just wierd. clear lights, red tree skirt and spray-paint the trunk of your tree with gold paint. It looks really cool.
