CHRISTMAS DECORATING

Our Christmas Trees 2005 For the first time since we live in Canada we had a non-cultured Christmas tree. The tree's branches were never shaved off during its growing process. This gives it its natural look. And for those of us who use real candles, it leaves enough room between the branches for the candles to burn safely. The Douglas fir was decorated with chocolate brown glass baubles, hand-blown Lauscha ornaments, sparkling antique-looking stars and snowflakes, brown satin bows, and red candles. |

2003 That year I decided to buy a Douglas fir for a chance. The tree was a bit taller than four feet and was placed in a beautiful planter. I decorated it with brown bows, gold glass baubles, and wrapped organza around the trunk. It was the first time that we did not have real candles on our Christmas tree. |

1998 We had a Fraser fir which was decorated with a large collection of gold glass ornaments, black bows and beeswax candles. A couple of years later I exchanged the black bows with gold ones. In 1999 I decorated an Alpine fir the way we had it as children. None of its branches were clipped, which I like to see. The tree itself was tall but skinny. It also was not bushy and full. I hung our colorful collection of plain glass baubles, which are in jewel tones, on the tree's branches. The look was enhanced with bows made out of a lush brown ribbon. There were no electrical lights on the tree just candles. |
