CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATING | Tips on How to Decorate the Perfect Christmas Tree | Kinwoven Christmas

[@elainatan9739]

We have a family tradition that each kid picks out a new ornament, and we get a family ornament each year. I keep each kid’s ornament’s packed in their own box when we put everything away, and when they move out, we’ll give them their own box for their Christmas tree. My parents did this for my siblings and I, and it’s always so special to see all of the old ornaments from my childhood with my kids picks.

[@rae.3291]

This was something my parents did for us too. Not only was it sentimental, but it was also practical because as a college student I didn't have money to be buying decorations so I already had some!

[@saltrivercrafts]

We do this as well. We all have fun picking them out and we will give our kids theirs when they have their own Christmas tree.

[@cassystreet3082]

My parents did this exact same thing for is and now I do it too. So glad to hear this is not just our tradition. I love this tradition. Still have my childhood ornaments and they go on.

[@mogarcia29]

I am pregnant with our first and I love this!! Thank you for sharing, I’m definitely going to make this a tradition!

[@ARMooney1244]

my favorite ornament is a crystal Hummingbird for my dad. It's become a symbol for him within my family since we lost him to cancer 3 years ago. Christmas is hard without the loved one's you've lost but its important to honor and remember them and my favorite way to do that is with an heirloom ornament

[@michelea2326]

One of my trees is food themed! I don't have children, I just find food ornaments hilarious and fun to have in a tree. Not only do I have a taco ornament, I have a taco food truck ornament (everyone thinks it's hilarious!). Still looking for a good burrito ornament and a tamale ornament to round out my Mexican food collection.

[@katiekononov7235]

I saw a burrito ornament in world market the other day They had a lot of fun food ornaments!

My husband and I started collecting Christmas ornaments on our honeymoon 25 years ago (Nov 9th). When we go on vacation we get an ornament. We now have a travel tree plus our traditional tree. One of my favorites is from Estes Park, Colorado from 2003. Clear glass ornament with cardinals and winter trees. It’s so beautiful.

[@beckietanner1496]

I love watching you and your family. I love Christmas so much. A few years ago, I stripped my tree of the red ribbon and balls and large snowflakes. I decided to do a Glory tree. (I am a Jesus Fanatic!) I did all the tree in gold and I have never taken it down. It has birds, crosses, all kinds of gold balls and ornaments, trumpets, musical instruments, etc. The tree has solid lights and twinkling lights as well. It is my night light in the living room. I am known for my decorating so I think you would love it as well.

[@heidibay6799]

I am Danish and to me it is all about memory's. My ornaments are basically the same every year. From my childhood and up to now 50 years later. It tells my family's story. We all have ornaments that represents us. Our hobbies or personality. Ornaments that are old, a couple of new ones, homemade and we have a little picture of the family members who have died. That way they are still with us. And it is a real tree. Always! Merry christmas.

[@teresaemery1339]

We didn’t put our tree up until Xmas Eve and would sit and have a drink as the children decorated. The pictures we have of that few hours showing the tree decorated a third of the way up, then half, then entirely are my favorite ornaments. The activity completely exhausted our children and they not only went happily to bed, and always slept until 8 or 8:30 when their grandparents would wake them up because They couldn’t stand waiting. I miss miss doing that!

[@be_you2023]

My Father loved everything about Christmas, so each year we would go to the city to pick out a new set of german handmade glass ornaments for the tree. I have one or two of those ornaments in my collection now, and they are as precious to me now, as they were then. Every year I change my theme, and I am not past putting food ornaments in my tree, I feel doing something that is fun for the kids (or big kids) creates the best memory. This year, my husband has won me over, after decades of hiding ornaments in the back of the tree, we are doing a Star Wars theme... May the force be with me! 😏🙄

I’ve bought one decoration or set every year and added to my collection. After 40 years you can imagine that I don’t necessarily use them all each year now. For me our tree is about honoring the time and progress and increase of joy. I change it up with different ribbons or beads but the memories in each decoration are precious. Now my grandkids get to enjoy the planning, stories and place items thoughtfully on our tree. It’s delightful 🎄

[@rebeccar4026]

My parents have a musical nativity scene that recites the Christmas story from when Angel of the North appears to the shepherds. They bought it for their first Christmas as a married couple in 1987 and it’s been out every year since. It’s always been put at a level that we could play with it and play out the story ourselves with the figures. I absolutely adore it

[@mules8662]

I have never had a plastic tree. Here in Austria, we put up the tree in the evening on the 24th of December and it’s usually up until around mid January.

[@shorelife737]

Love your home and tree. I recommend getting a real tree at least once. We had a family tradition of going to the same tree farm each year with our 4 kids. It was so much fun walking around looking for the perfect tree. We had hot chocolate while we waited for our tree to be cut and bagged and viewed the farm's Christmas village with trains and lights. My kids are grown now and they still say that is one of their favorite childhood memories.

[@hellobookworms3083]

My favorite ornament is floppy disk with little mice hanging on it. It has “Santa’s Secret Files - 1998” written on it with “The Nice List”, “The Naughty List” and “Mrs. Claus’ hot cocoa recipe”. My dad and I love tech so the floppy disk reminds me of him. Our tree used to be decorated really tacky and when I got into high school my mom started decorating our tree with more of a color scheme and sophistication. My sister and I loved it but still wanted to display some of our tackier ornaments from our childhood like the one I mentioned above. Now we have large garlands in our entryway and hallway leading to our bedrooms. We decorate them with our childhood ornaments framing the walk in view of our sophisticatedly decorated tree. We love it. A perfect blend of memories and design. Old and new.

[@michelea2326]

That floppy disk ornament sounds awesome!!!

Your tree is so calming to me . Even though my life has changed dramatically and I miss parts of my old life with my ex husband,I know once I get my own place, I am going to do this style off tree . I love how it isn’t over loaded . It’s right up my alley. . My fave ornaments were shiny brite vintage ornaments . .we had a completely vintage tree. . The garland , tree topper , ornaments are all vintage. The only new things were the Christmas lights. And the pinecone ornaments that I painted the tips on were new . The hardest thing for my ex to pick out was the tree because he always picked out a tree that was too big .

[@jenniferhahn6027]

We buy ornaments as souvenirs when we go on family vacations. Then we remember all of our trips when we decorate at Christmas.

[@craftywabbit9547]

This year my theme is what I call Nordic, lots of natural (almost white), touches of red...nothing shiny, plenty of felt ornaments...strings of distressed (rusty) metal and wood stars and beads...popcorn strings also fit...an old gold (not shiny!) folder paper star as a topper...and red/white wrapped (thanks Ikea 😁) gifts below...loving your and your mum's Christmas videos, tfs 💕

Every year my kids each pick out a new ornament. One that represents something they loved or an accomplishment from that year. We have hello kitty, ballerinas, tractors, dinosaurs, pizza slices, animals to represent pets we've had and so many other things. It's an eclectic mix, but they are all my favorite because they represent so many sweet memories with my kids. ❤🎄

[@lj-nq7ck]

Aww I had hello kitty on my tree as a kid (still do but it’s hidden). My mom did the same thing when my sister and I were kids. Just telling you, it makes Christmas decorating special to them. My mom and I are so close and decorate together every year.

I have a John Deere tractor ornament that's an inside joke between my dad and I. It makes me smile everytime I look at it!!

[@peggyvick935]

Same here! I thought they would want to take their ornaments when they moved out, but they wanted me to keep them on our tree. Each Christmas, we have each person talk about their ornaments, the memories etc being told & passed down to the 8 grandchildren. Traditions carried on.

Did the same star last year from Hobby Lobby! It's a wall hanging, but with a square dowel that fits right into the tail of the star and some zip ties, you can create a great tree topper. I painted the dowel green and zip tied it to the trunk. Didn't move all season and if you do it, put it on before anything else. Super easy!

[@jameygreen6739]

I collect old world ornaments. They are the old fashioned looking glittery ones and they make so many to choose from. My family picks a new one each every year and I love that they have small tags that talk about the object and the meaning it has.

We have a tradition that every year we get one of those cheesy picture frame ornaments with the year on it, and we take a picture in front of the tree and put in in there :) those are my personal favorites. Also, my cat partakes in the pictures lol. I'm excited to see how our little family ornaments will evolve through the years.

[@jillbrady4036]

Nice trees, the animal ornaments are cute.🤩 We invite our grandchildren over to decorate our family tree. They have so much fun. We tell stories about the ornaments. Some are heirlooms and some are handmade by them or us. We have a lot of Hallmark ones that were our Mom's...some are quite unique. We put the breakable ones at the top of the tree. This is an enjoyable tradition. (They also help us undecorate and put them away as well.)😃🌲

Nutcrackers are my favorite ornament and decor. Of course other than the ornaments that my husband and I get each other instead of buying gifts. (We can buy ourselves gifts anytime). These ornaments are really special and thought through. It’s really fun to try to outdo each other 🤪

Every year our kids picked out an ornament that they liked…so my tree is full of barbies, Arthur, Barney, Harry Potter, Batman…cartoons etc. I love it. But the best thing we do every year is the Christmas pickle. Santa hides the glass pickle on the tree…then Christmas morning…the kids have to find the pickle. In the beginning, whoever won got a sharing gift…the pickle gift used to be a family movie and treats etc. Now my kids are 27 and 28…since they’ve been teens…the pickle is a hilarious competition…and the pickle gift is usually cash. It’s the funniest thing…and the best part of Christmas morning. (When the kids were small, the pickle was placed in the easiest spot…it’s green obviously…so it blends in like Where’s Waldo. Once they hit their teens…that pickle is hidden in the hardest spots of the tree.)

[@ossiningsue]

When our son was little, we taught him not to touch the tree. He could only look. Our son is almost 38 today and decorates his own tree. We on the other hand, have a kitten. So we’re placing all unbreakable ornaments on the tree this year. The family ornaments will remain packed away. So much for tradition. Our theme this year is red and gold, which is all we could find at the store. Some ornaments are on the smaller side, so I will group maybe 3 of them together on one cord. I just know the kitten will climb to the very top of the tree. Crossing my fingers he doesn’t chew up the wires on our pre-lit tree. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@Anwaar.m.a]

Helpful tips, Sharrah! The only misery that I do is how I store my lighting strings (in small circles), that's why every time I feel overwhelmed when detangling them. But I'll give your method a shot this year, and hopefully putting up the lighting becomes more fun and thrilling than a pain.🎄😄 Thanks for sharing us your lovely ideas.

[@salimorton641]

Sharrah, I think your decision to go more natural is lovely! When my children were toddlers and we had little to spend, I sewed calico fabric ornaments to decorate our small green artificial second hand tree. For garland I popped popcorn and strung it on red threads with button ends. I made a star out of card board and tin foil shiny side up. The ornaments were washable and tiny hands were always exploring for them. It was a safe child tree and my mother in law loved it. Now my kids are grown, the grandkids are grown up middle school through college. I have a few of their old ornaments and they make it on the trees once and a while. But my favorite Christmas decorations stay out all year, they are the kindergarten handprints on burlap in red and green framed in Black frames. One for each child, three all together. Time flies. And these are the best of times for me, raising my children and my favorite time of the year is Christmas. Merry Christmas!

[@anitafreeman9845]

Just found Kinwoven! Love your families’ passion for Christmas decorating! I usually do 4 trees. The past few years we have gotten a real tree for our living room. It’s so amazing!! The process and memories are wonderful! It is a little more challenging with lights, but worth it. We water ours every day and basically have no shedding! We designed a tree waterer and it works great! It is basically my Rustic tree then I have a kid/fun tree that’s red and green, a flocked with light blue, and a skinny tree in my dining room that’s traditional! Love the organic look also!!

SO beautiful Sharrah! I agree about the fairy lights. Used those last year. I have a very unusual tree, a very sparse -very few pine needles on branches. LOTS of room to show off ornaments. Many are vintage, and the theme is birds, bird nests, pinecones, berries. (no children so many of the ornaments are glass and even from the 1920's and 30's). Can't wait to get it out this year. When putting it away the branches just fold up and I slide it into a closet. Easy to get it out and put the ornaments on. No assembly.

[@jenniewren9351]

As Christmas is special for children I think Sharrah using child friendly ornaments is perfect. I hate children being told to keep away or not touch the tree. Every year we gift a personalised bauble for our daughter. She is also allowed to choose one ornament each year for herself. We also enjoy buying ornaments when on holiday. I have to say that this is always easier when we visit USA. In England we don’t really have year-round Christmas shops, just pop up ones from October time. Our daughter is nearly 18 and already, as we decorate the tree we recount the stories and memories of those special ornaments. When she moves out she’ll have a good start for Christmas decorating. Whatever our colour scheme or theme, we always have at least one nativity set out.

[@user-uq1nm3iv8i]

Sharrah I don't know how you do it but you seem to become more beautiful each year. Blessings to you and your family!

I use a lot of the nature/Scandinavian inspired Christmas decor in my home too and my sons little ornaments go so well with the whole look.

[@deannaevans5235]

Your home looks beautiful Sharrah! I grew up having potted Christmas trees every year. My father planted the trees later in our yard, lots of memories. We have a fake tree for Christmas in my home but we try to buy real every other year. You can't beat the pine smell of a fresh Christmas tree, Love it! All of my ornaments unique favorites I have collected over the years. My mother every year gave us a box for Christmas of ornaments she would find through out the year. I do the same for my son and they are hung on the tree as well. Our tree is very eclectic. If I had to choose one it would be the vintage German "Partridge in a Pear Tree" Resl Lenz glass ornament I found years ago. I'm looking forward to more Christmas videos! Thank you for all your tips, I'm excited to decorate!!

My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids made at school and gifted to me. On a funny note, I have to also include Christmas lights. I had a friend's little girl tell me - while I was putting white lights on the tree - why didn't I use color lights. I explained I love the white lights and the color theme I was going for. Her response "But colored lights is what Christmas cheer is all about." 😆 Apparently I have no Christmas cheer, lol. I just died that day! It is a precious memory I will cherish forever.

I've got 2 lovely Balsam Hill trees and although they're expensive, they are worth every penny
