I usually put up my Christmas tree as early as September. And why not? With the huge cost involved in putting up all those Christmas symbols, isn’t it just right to feast on such a spectacle for, well, just a short period anyway... uhhmmm over 4 months lol! I started putting up Christmas trees 3 years ago. And since then, I have always looked forward with exhilaration the yearly tradition of dressing up this little thing. To spice things up, I make it a point that each year has different inspiration and color theme. This draws anticipation for friends and relatives who visit my place during Christmas season.
I started in 2011 with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green and gold. I made use of the poinsettias and some golden leaves.
Then in 2012 I came up with earth colored theme. I focused on the gold and silver inspiration. Embellished with feathers i painted in gold, I separated the copper toned balls at the lowest part of the tree.
And just last year, I decided to have a custom-made Christmas tree highlighted with crystals, blue and green theme. I spray-painted my tree with silver. I systematically arranged the balls according to size and sporadically according to colors. Big balls at the bottom and smaller ones at the top.
