The snow is falling, families are planning their holiday get-togethers, and the magic of the holiday season is in the air. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is time to start decorating and spreading the spirit throughout your home. Traditionally, the Christmas tree has been a holiday staple, with ornaments, garlands, and a tree topper like a star or angel. This year, instead of following the traditional decorating scheme, try something different with one of these 4 different decor themes for your Christmas tree.

Nautical Theme

The anticipation and magic associated with Christmas is similar to that feeling you experience before the summer holidays. This year, bring the two together by decorating your tree in a unique nautical theme. Using a combination of blue and gold decorations will give your tree an enchanting glow that imitates the ocean. To complete the nautical theme, use decorations like sailboats, buoys, and seashells. For an extra added personal touch, try using seashells or mementos you have collected at the beach to create a tree that tells a story of your summer adventures.

Candy Land Tree

Everyone associates the holidays with treats, baked goods, and sweets. Bring the happiness from all those treats into your home, and decorate your tree with a candy theme. This theme is perfect for a family with young children, and adults who have a sweet tooth and can be cost-effective, as the possibilities are endless. Whether you use real candy with bright coloured wrappings, create your own, or purchase pastel decorations, this tree theme is perfect for people of all ages!

Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a significant part of the holidays and has been a part of the holiday tradition for centuries. Celebrate the man himself by creating a tribute to him with your tree. To accomplish this, use a combination of reds, whites, and blacks to represent his suit, and trim your tree with decorations that represent the man who makes the holidays merry and bright. This theme not only represents a significant part of the holidays, but it also reminds children to behave because Santa Claus is keeping an eye on them.

Non-Traditional Tree

Traditionally, it was the pine tree that was used as a symbol of the holidays. Pine trees, however, can be messy and may clash with your style. This year, take a bold step forward and instead of using the traditional pine tree, try using non-traditional materials within your home that match your decor to create a unique Christmas tree. The different style will impress your guests, and compliment your interior decor.

Regardless of whether your Christmas tree is a collection of mementos or a display of bright coloured candy ornaments, the theme you choose will bring joy and magic into your home for the holiday season. For more ideas on how to decorate your tree, visit the Falconcrest Homes Blog.
