Celebrate Christmas with the best New Year tree you ever had!

No one imagines Christmas without a New Year tree. We try to choose the most beautiful Christmas tree, put it in the right place, decorate it and enjoy its looks and original Christmas smell through out the holidays.

But before decorating it, we should take care of the long life of the beautiful Christmas tree. First of all, you’ll need to cut the stump of your tree (fresh cut) and put it into water. In this case it will absorb large amounts of water from the very beginning. For the first week you should refill the amount of water a few times a day!

If you want to prolong the life of your Christmas tree, you may add some mix to the reservoir with water – this is a quart of water with one teaspoon of liquid bleach and half a cup of light corn syrup. You can also keep the needles fresh with the help of a Wilt-resistant spray.

Before starting decorating your tree, think whether your decoration will have any topic, whether it will be formal or informal decoration. Besides, you may choose a particular theme for decoration: western theme, an angel theme, snowflakes theme, a certain color theme etc. will add personal touch to the whole period of holidays.

When everything is clear with the theme, we may start decorating! The best variant is to start with Christmas lights, garlands, and only in the end – ornaments. Before putting Christmas lights on the tree, check whether they work, otherwise you’ll have to do everything from the very beginning. Start off with the two sets of lights: first one that is shorter and then one that is longer. Wind the short string of lights around the trunk of your Christmas tree. With the longer string of lights, start from the top of the tree and wind down the tree in a spiral. If you want to have more lights, remember to arrange them from the top to the bottom and from the innermost to the outmost.

Decorating your tree with ornaments, choose them of different color, size and form – your Christmas tree won’t look monotonous and bore you and your guests. Place ornaments also inside your tree to give an impression of depth.

If you have small children, choose ornaments more carefully and see to it, that your children cannot reach them and hurt themselves or swallow some small parts of ornaments!

Here are some decorating ideas you may use. Don’t forget to involve your children into the process of decorating a New Year tree – make it your tradition!

Toy Christmas tree decorating ideas: you can decorate your tree with all kinds of toys. Your toys may be quite different or correspond to one theme, depending on your and your children’s desire. Use wire and ribbons to hang the toys onto the branches.

Snowflake Christmas tree decorating ideas: make all kinds of snowflakes on your own, decorate them with glue and glitter and your Christmas tree will acquire an unforgettable look!

Christmas Cookie Christmas tree decorating ideas: bake cookies, use your brains and decorate your tree with your own creations. You can put your cookies in clear or colored cellophane or bags, attach the top with ribbon and add to your tree.

The final step in your tree decoration is the top. This is usually something that symbolizes the spirit of Christmas: angels, stars, Santas will do all right. Choose the top, which corresponds your theme and enjoy the holidays!!!
