When we were in California, with all my collected Christmas deorations, yes I created different color schemes and themes yearly.
Since starting over -- Ive chosen color schemes instead, It may take a decade to acquire enough decorations again to change themes every year! But it definitely is a dream of mine!!
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year! Charles Dickens
The last couple of years our dining room tree has had a snowy theme - lots of white, silver ornaments and white snowball lights.
Our main tree in the lounge room is quite eclectic - anything goes but it seems to follow the traditional colours of red, gold, silver, green with a few others thrown in for good measure.
I have a couple of table top trees that just get whatever is left over from the big trees, but they always turn out nice.
I made a "beanie" tree once with a few stuffed Disney characters too, but I had to add some other kiddie ornaments from my old family tree.
Usually, I have so many favourite ones that I feel I have to include that I can't really stick to a theme. I really like the look of them when I see them though.
If I had the space and O'Malley didn't object, I'd have at least one more tree to decorate then I'd be more likely to do a theme tree and a hodge-podge tree. I think of my Christmas tree as a bit of a "time capsule" with decorations I've inherited, been given as gifts or picked up for myself. To look at my tree, you wouldn't notice it at first, but for the trained eye - there's plenty of history there with a bit of the new too.
I´m very happy that I´m not alone with several trees... This year we´ll have 3... one in the living room.. one in the hall and one tiny artificial .. I d´nt know where to put... I love historic ornaments and snowmen.. I think the maintree will be snow-themed this year... the kitchen full of gingerbread-ornaments.. and the hall with vintage ornaments..
My tree is not themed. It's an ecclectic mix of ornaments. When I move to a bigger place, I'd like to have another tree and I'd like for that one to be themed.
We have a spare room now that number one son has moved out and I wanted to make it a Christmas room but the men of the house (and I am outnumbered two to one here) have decided that they want it as an Xbox room.
Oh well, when number two son grows up and moves out, I can have a Christmas room then.
im not sure how many well have this year..i may donate one to a needy family for christmas with decorations and tree top etc...its getting hard to move about my closet now..plus its a good cause..i may just put out our main big tree.i think i have 4 trees plus a ceramic one i made years ago...
