How to choose the tree and decorate it? First of all the question is: artificial or real live?
This year we have decided to follow people who say:"Let's save the Earth!". And so our Christmas tree is artificial. We are convinced of our choise; it's the right choice from an environmentalist point of view. We'll use it for many years and won't help to impoverish woods.
It may be little or great; everyone chooses the tree that's just right for him and that's suitable for his house. How to decorate it for the celebration depends on everyone's taste.
We have chosen a decoration that remembers us some trees in the wood when it is snowing.
We bought some artificial stems with red and orange berries. Every stem is different so our Christmas tree is different according to the prospect from which it is seen. Look at the photo and its enlargement for more details. Use the nippers if the stems are too long and you have to cut them.
Use bits of cotton wool spread on the treetops for a snowy effect.
No twinkling lights, so electric energy is saved.
Next year you will be able to use the same ornaments for the Christmas tree or for other Christmas decorations such centrepieces, great Christmas balls hanging from the ceiling ...
