Your family and friends have always raved about your proud, gift-receiving seven footer tree in the middle of your living room; how about doing something extra special this year and include the rest of the neighbors in on your penchant for beautifying things. All you need are a few mini lighted outdoor christmas trees to be the prettiest house on the block.

These little glittering specimens lining up the path leading to your home are gorgeous looking in the day. As soon as dusk settles into night, they are going to be downright spectacular looking I guarantee you. Expect open mouthed stares and compliments to greet you on your way out the door.

You can either get artificial or live versions of this tree, depends on what you prefer. Of course, live trees of the same size and shape are a little more difficult to find; however, if you are set on this make a few rounds on christmas tree shops and you will find what you are looking for. Drape them in mini lights and tinsel and attractive ornaments. Surprise even your family by spray painting them with glow in the dark or glitter pain in metallic hues.

Synthetic trees will be more economical for those who plan to use them for the next few Christmases (believe me you will). Determine on the motif you want to go for this year and buy the lights that will suit the look the most. Christmas lights now come in every hue, shape and flashing patterns; you won't lack with the choices open for you. Space these lights evenly around the tree. Hang ornaments like bells and shiny balls around the tree.

Practice safety with your creations, especially for those placed outdoors. Tie the trunks of the trees with ropes and pole it securely through the earth. You may want to tape shiny wrapped boxes (fake gifts) under the tree to cover these guide wires. Also, do not decorate with breakable ornaments for these outdoor trees-between the weather conditions and lovable little rascals, you want your displays safe to see another season.

Before you go to the Christmas tree shops to get your supplies, have you marked out the spot where you want to place them? Is it cleared and near enough a power outlet for the extension cords to be plugged in? Ensure that these extension cords are safely covered to avoid being stepped on; or at least have a sign to warn passersby so they do not trip or crush them inadvertently.

There are pre-lighted trees you can also consider getting. The best thing about these little creatures is that they are cordless, battery operated and often times, timer controlled. This means that you just need to set the time and they will go off by themselves without you having to leave the comfort of your cozy little home. View and order mini lighted outdoor christmas trees in specialty sites online.

Once upon a time you had an appreciative audience of family and friends-now your Christmas spirit, as expressed through your beautiful decorations, will be felt by a much larger group of people. You may not personally know everyone of them, but they will know your heart and be blessed by it. Have yourself a Merry Christmas!
