December holidays can only mean one thing, and that is spending time with family and friends.
Most families are going up and down looking for their perfect Christmas tree while others have already found them. This means the little ones are excited and ready, they may want to already set the tree up.
According to Real Homes – an information hub that helps people create a place that feels like home no matter where they are – the perfect time to set up a Christmas tree is in the second or third week of December. During this time, you get to enjoy the tree and decorate it without feeling rushed. Some Christians prefer to wait up until after the 12th of December which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Catholic holiday that celebrates Mary).
The above-mentioned source also provides a guide for the things you can use to decorate your tree:
- Ornaments: According to Real Homes you can use traditional glass ornaments, ornaments made from wood, metal, or other materials. You can also find ornaments that represent specific interests or hobbies.
- Lights: The above-mentioned source says you can use traditional white lights, colored lights, or even LED lights to light up your tree.
- Bows: Bows made from ribbon or fabric; Real Homes says that they can add a stylish touch to your tree.
- Garland: Garland made from natural materials like pinecones, berries, or dried fruit can add a rustic feel to your tree, says Real Homes.
- Angels, stars, or other figurines: You can use a decorative topper or add figurines to your tree, according to Real Homes this is to represent religious or cultural traditions.
