The following may help you to come up with your own creative Christmas tree decorating ideas.Favorite Hobbies Do you have a hobby you love? Maybe items you collect? You could hang only specific items on your tree based on your hobbies. This could include scrapbooking, sports teams, collectables, etc. Natural Tree Use only natural decorations such as popcorn, decorated pine cones, wood ornaments, and other natural items. You may choose to leave the items natural, or add decorations to the ornaments (such as glitter, paint, etc) Simple Trees Slightly different from the natural tree, a simple tree would be something like only tinsel and lights. Sometimes the simplest of trees are the most beautiful. Handmade Trees Our Christmas tree is usually hung with only handmade ornaments made as a family.

To store lights tangle-free, cut heavy-duty cardboard into the shape of a capital "I." Wrap the lights around this and they'll be ready to use next year. You can store your extension cords in empty toilet paper rolls and label them as to what size they are." Submitted by Stefani www.stefanipartin.com Happy Holidays!
