Christmas Tree

Some people like standard, authentic looking artificial Christmas trees to adorn their living rooms and set off their carefully chosen decorations to perfection, while others like to go for more unusual shapes, sizes and colors to add a bit of individualism to their own particular brand of seasonal decor for their homes. But one of my own personal favorites is the pure white Christmas trees that you can buy these days.

These trees come in standard widths or the slim variety for those who have less free space in their room. They also come in a variety of heights to suit your particular room and they all look absolutely wonderful once they are decorated and lit up to really set off the atmosphere of an indoor winter wonderland at Christmas.

I love that they can be bought pre-lit as well, which really saves on the hassle of fighting with last years set of lights and trying to untangle the matted mess of wires before draping them around the tree. But what really brings them to life is when all the decorations and lights are switched on and that fabulous experience is created of a wintry festive grotto that is perfect for pouring a glass of wine and relaxing with a mince pie.

So, do you like white Christmas trees or is there some other color that really gets your attention? While is a virginal, cool and clean color which is why I guess I like it so much. If I had to choose another color I’d probably go with green or light blue as these are still the more realistic colors of real trees. Or maybe dark blue,which is quite a stunning color for a tree once its decorated and has its lights turned on, preferably blue lights for that total effect.

Whether you like them white, black, green or purple, you can get unique artificial Christmas trees in so many different designs and colors that you might wonder why you would ever stick with plain old green ever again. But there is much to be said for white Christmas trees as they really do convey that impression of a snow covered tree which is so seasonal at this time of the year.

Another great benefit of a slim tree is that you can decorate them far easier than a regular one as its so much easier to get your arms around them to place things like baubles or tinsel at the back or high up. It also makes for easy setting of lights, although you can also opt to buy a pre-lit slim artificial Christmas tree that does away with all the hassle of buying and placing lights.

The previous post The Value of Light, looked at how important light is to the ambiance of any room and this is especially true around the festive season when traditionally we expect to see the warming glow of an open fire and a Christmas tree adorned with softly glowing coloured lights.

Of course these days, white lights tend to be very fashionable and while they can make a well decorated tree look stunning, they still lack the perceived warmth of the reds and oranges of coloured lights.

Be that as it may, this post is going to deal with some of the benefits of buying prelit Christmas trees.

The most obvious benefit is of course the fact that the tree is already adorned with its own built-in lights which means not only do you not have the added expense of having to buy a separate set of Christmas tree lights, but you are also spared the hassle of draping them over the tree and spending ages getting to look just so.

With good quality prelit Christmas trees, this job is already done for you so that you can spend your time putting up all the other Christmas tree decorations and making it look festive and easy on the eye. Other benefits include a more compact tree with fewer trailing wires and other paraphernalia for tripping you over or attracting the unwanted attention of your family pet!

Of course, being an artificial Christmas tree, its life-span is vastly greater than one of the “real” alternatives (which are only good for the one season) and with the proper care and attention will last for many years.
