Do you decorate your tree/s in theme/s?

Question

If so what are they? I am putting up like three 4' trees this year and my themes are Family in the family room (heirloom ornies), my son wants a Car theme (hot wheels and race track garland) and my daughter wants to incorporate all of her teddy bears (not sure how to do this yet but will get it figured out soon). SO was wondering who does and what they are and how they use the themes.

I forgot to mention that they each have their own tree in their rooms. sorry about that

Answer 1

I generally don't, because it would be hard for me to pick one thing. But I like how those look, I think they're sweet.

Some friends of mine did their tree all in red, with red lights, red ornaments, and red ribbon; some people in my neighborhood go for all white and gold. My sister one year had football teams as her theme, it was fun. She had white lights and ornaments in the shapes of footballs, helmets, and logos.

Cars shouldn't be hard, but how big are the teddy bears? If they're too big to sit in the branches, you could arrange them around the tree so they look like they're decorating it or playing with it. Prop them up as best you can in poses, have them hold the ribbon or some ornaments (maybe a craft shop might have ribbon with teddy bears on it?). Sit some near the bottom wrapping presents. I wonder if you could find a teddy bear star or angel ornament for the top.

Answer 2

We have been putting up a Southwest decorated tree. We use Native American and Mexican style ornaments that we've either made ourselves or bought. Several we got during a December trip to Taos, New Mexico. We have chili lights and chili pepper ornaments too.

Answer 3

do specific colors, like a white tree, a blue winter tree, or a tree that maybe concentrates on all hallmark decorations.

Or a tree with different looking hearts since Christmas is a season of joy and unity.

Answer 4

I did decorate with snowmen. I bought a lot of snowmen. My favorite was a starfish decorated as a snowman that I bought on vacation. There are a lot of snowmen ornaments -- especially country type ones (and I pretty much avoid those).

I then put red and blue shiny balls on it. You know, those cheap boxed ornaments...... I also put small American flags on the branches. We're a patriotic bunch. I finished off with some red and blue ribbon.

I got a lot of comments on my tree.................and I loved it.

Answer 5

I put a little tree in my dining room and decorated it with the miniature baskets that I collect. One year where I worked, we put sea shells all over the tree. Another year we just put poinsettias on it.

Answer 6

i have 2 trees in my house. one is all faeries and the other one with teddy bears and looney toons.
you can put up 2 small trees. one for your son one for your daughter.
my fairy tree also has a few Faberge pieces but that's because my mother keeps giving them to me and i have to have respect and put them on.
you can also try to combine 2. find teddy bears with or in cars :) look in to hallmark. all my faeries are from there and i remember seeing some teddy nears with cars.
use your imagination. its the best holiday we have.
good luck

Answer 8
