It's December once again-- time to welcome Christmas into your abode, and with him, good food and great fellowship. It's definitely one of the most exciting and memorable times of the year you simply cannot miss out on. While it's around, squeeze the fun to its last drop by following these great christmas tree decorating ideas the whole family can join in on.

Ornamental balls are simple creatures- more is more. This is no time for subdued and reserved individuals. Step out of the shadow of the previous months and pile on the bling! This doesn't mean to just crowd in all the accessories in one fir-plan the over-all look and step on the creative gas pedal, so to speak.

Ask yourself, what tree is perfect for my family this year? Want a rich and aromatic timeless fir tree? You can get one at your local christmas tree shop. They will also have selections on synthetic trees if you prefer to have one stored and ready at your disposal whenever you need them. You can do what you want with your home (granted, it's legal of course). Remember, as long as there is a demand-the supply will be there. Look up on specialty sites, they should have things that you need.

In relation to the previous question, what color scheme will you be working with on your decorations? You have many choices: Go winter wonderland with blue, silver and white; go traditional with red velvet and green silk; go glam with metallic silver and frosted gold accessories. Get the children in the family in on the project. They can come up with their own theme and spend the next few days and weekends making the decorations and little tokens for it.

Decorations need not stay within the ornamental balls and festive garlands family. Try using lovely silk flowers or sprays of dried herbs colorfully tied all around the tree. How about candles set in old painted miniature holders and fastened on the tips of the tree's limbs? It lends an old world feel to it as long as you don't light it up and risk charring your living room area. Put aside funny and loving pictures of family and friends and string them beside charms and special trinkets. You can drape this family garland around the christmas tree for intimate and personal touch it brings.

You know, you don't need to be a one tree family-opt to put miniature trees in your home's nooks otherwise neglected by the holiday spirit. Decorate a little tree in the kitchen complete with dangling forks and spoons. Set one up in the garage and wrap nuts and bolts, and key chains on its branches. No doubt you will put smiles on those fortunate enough to pass by.

Top the tree with a special memento. You usually have the classic star or angel and these would do so long as it holds a particular value to your family. Establish the tree crowning ceremony as a tradition everyone, especially the younger children can look forward to as they grow up.

And last but not the least-play hymns and holiday carols in your home. It is by far one of the best christmas tree decorating ideas you can do. You can't touch it but it touches you where it counts-Christmas is truly a gift one is compelled to share.
