You've Chosen Your Perfect Christmas Tree, But Now What?
UK Greeting Cards Tips on how to decorate your
Christmas tree this holiday season! This
article will give you ideas for setting up your Christmas tree, lighting it,
keeping it fresh, and decorating the tree to make it look beautiful and magical
to really impress your family and friends and not forgetting you’re NEIGHBOURS
Keep Your Tree Fresh and Green
Cut the stump of the tree with a fresh cut and set it in water immediately. A fresh-cut tree will absorb several quarts of water right from the start. So it's important to check and refill the water level several times a day for the first week. You can cut down on frequency later. Be sure to place you Christmas tree in a stand that has a large water reservoir and keep it filled. Another tip make sure your tree is not near heating specially a radiator as the pines will fall of very quickly.

If you are going to invest in an artificial tree
spend time and get the right one by spending wisely the tree will last you many
years. Tip think what are you going to put on the tree also the colour of the
artificial tree try and get silver or green that’s a good starting point.
Putting Lights and Decorations on the Christmas Tree:
Tip test the tree lights first!!
when decorating your Christmas tree, put lights on first! Then garlands,
then the ornaments. Tip try and avoid putting too much on as you might
find the tree collapsing
Work From the Inside Out
Start arranging Christmas tree lights on the branches near the base of the
tree. Weave strings of lights along the branches "inside," then
move to the outer edges of the branches.
Placement of Ornaments
Don't hang all your ornament on the tips of the branches. Place ornaments and
other decorations 'inside' your tree to add depth and interest.
Basic Baubles Ornaments
Start by arranging the ornaments evenly
spaced around the tree. This would include basic solid colour balls in a wide
range of colours to coordinate and enhance your decorating theme. You'll need
about 10 "bauble ornaments" for every 2 feet of Christmas tree.
Special Themed, Collectible Ornaments
Mix one-of-a-kind special ornaments between the basic ornaments. Plan to
use at least 10 special themed ornaments for every 2 feet of tree. As your
collection grows, put the special ornaments closer together. Tip try putting

make it yourself.
