I know many of you have your Christmas Trees up and decorated before Thanksgiving, but if you're like me and wait until closer to Christmas here are a few tips on decorating the perfect tree.
Step One: Hang Christmas Tree Lights.
Step Two: Add Christmas Tree garland.
Step Three: Hang Christmas Tree ornaments.
That raises a question on how many ornaments do you put on a Christmas Tree. According to Better Homes & Garden you need approximately 70 ornaments for a 7 ft tree. If you go really big and have a 8 ft tree you need 80 ornaments, 9 ft tree you need 90 ornaments and if you go all out and have a 10 ft (whew) tree you need 120 to 160 ornaments and a large step ladder. And don't forget the tree topper, that will add additional height to your tree.
As I've aged and my children now have their own Christmas traditions I don't put up a tree. I can now enjoy their decorations without pulling all those boxes out of the closet. However, this year I did pull my boxes of ornaments out, just to see what all I had. What I found was several vintage Hallmark Card and Avon ornaments that were my favorite for so many years. I decided instead of keeping them boxed up in a closet where no one was enjoying them I would put them up for sale on #Etsy.com. Several have already gone to good loving homes and that makes me happy.
If you need more ornaments to fill that 7 or 8 or even 10 ft tree check out my #vintage #ornaments at
This is just a sample of what you find on the above website.
HAPPY TREE TRIMMING!!
