We even have a few concepts on hand if you're in the market for not one but two trees. With December drawing near, there's no better time to start thinking about your Christmas decorating scheme for this year. After all, we can't think of a better way to recover from Turkey Day than putting on some carols, gathering the crew, and tossing some tinsel on the tree. Here's the thing: Because you'll be spending a lot of time and effort outfitting your tree, you may as well enjoy it for as long as you can, so we suggest getting the party started on Thanksgiving weekend and leaving your tree up through the days following Christmas.
No matter how intricate these trees may look, you can decorate them yourself in a matter of hours (though we suggest including the whole family). We've got it all: ideas for a traditional Christmas tree with colored lights, ribbon, or poinsettias as well as simple Christmas trees with a more Scandi vibe. From maximalist options dripping in sparkle to a coastal-inspired alternative, there are a lot (read: 78) of fabulous Christmas tree ideas ahead. We hunted around the internet for a variety of styles, so no matter what your December look may be, you’ll definitely find a match here. So if you need some Christmas tree decorating ideas, consider this your cheat sheet. Nothing says Christmas like a giant Douglas fir covered in string lights, holiday ornaments, and ribbon.
