5 Unique Christmas Tree Decorating Themes
It’s easy for families to fall into a rut of decorating Christmas trees. Every year they put out the same decorations: the same round glass ornaments, lights, tinsel and star for the treetop. After a while, the same old thing gets boring! If you’re looking for new and fresh ideas to decorate your Christmas tree, look no further. We have five unique decorating themes that will make your Christmas tree that much more interesting.
the patriotic tree
Every family can appreciate a Christmas tree decked out in red, white, and blue, and it’s especially appropriate if you have family members who are veterans or currently serving our country. After the 4th of July is the time to stock up on items for this decorating theme. Look for small American flags, stars, empty firecracker boxes, and other patriotic memorabilia. Large red, white, and blue pom poms can also be a nice touch on a patriotic tree, giving the impression of a firecracker or sparkler.
children’s tree
For a family with young children, this decorating theme is particularly pleasing. Children’s trees should be whimsical and young at heart, covered with toy trains, dolls, sweets and all things child-pleasing. Small boxes of crayons, paint sets, chalk, toy cars, little books, and balloon animals are other fun ideas. Remember that with children’s trees, it is essential to consider the age of the children in the home and choose the decoration that is appropriate for the age. You do not want to decorate with any items that could be a choking hazard.
The animal lover’s tree
Not all families have children; some have pets instead. If you are 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 decorations are a good place to start. If you have cats at home, look for small cat toys, cans of catnip (tightly sealed of course), and cat-shaped ornaments.
The sports team tree
Many families have a favorite sports team that they follow. Why not decorate your Christmas tree to show your team spirit? Start by choosing all the decorations in the colors of your team. Then add special team memorabilia, including small items with the team logo. Old ticket stubs from previous games can also be a fun touch.
the new year tree
If you’re someone who spends most of your holiday season looking forward to New Year’s Eve and the many parties and celebrations that come with it, then a New Year’s Eve tree may be just what you’re looking for. Fun decorations can include noisemakers, small plastic New Year’s babies, plastic champagne flutes, mini empty champagne bottles, corks, and party hats. This tree will be especially nice if you are hosting a New Year’s Eve party at your home.
Remember, decorating a unique and interesting Christmas tree doesn’t 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!
