Currently, thousands of people across the country participate in a wonderful Christmas ritual: putting up a Christmas tree. Depending on your style, that means an annual trip to the basement (or garage or wherever) to retrieve the dusty box containing your plastic monstrosity, or a visit to a Christmas tree farm where you buy a real tree that will inevitably fall apart. . I rotted in the street in early January.
In any case, December 1 is the appropriate day to start this process.

Of course, some leave early, like people who make the love of Christmas their entire personality. While purists will point out that planting a tree before December goes against the spirit of the season (baby Jesus would be very sad), this is not a cause for concern. Personally, I think we should be more concerned about those who leave their decorations up until February, which is a sure sign of mental illness.
However, these are not the rules we are here to discuss. You see, if you believe the hype, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, even though it’s actually the most organized. Whether we like it or not, we’ve come up with some Christmas rules to follow. And nothing is more important than creating your own Christmas tree and the festive atmosphere of your home.
First, less is more when it comes to decorating your tree, especially when it comes to ornaments. Decorations are a highly flammable material made of PVC; Once lit, it burns in seconds. Naturally, it was a popular choice for tree decorations in the 1980s and 1990s, when people didn’t care much about dying in a house fire.
But today we know that it is very dangerous and ugly, so persisting in tinsel is equivalent to negligence and bad luck. Once the decorations are set aside, you need to decide on a lighting system for your tree. White lights are generally considered more elegant and less harmful than colored lights. However, fairy lights add a touch of nostalgia: a throwback to a time when Christmas meant bathed in red, yellow, green and blue glow.

In the end, the decision depends on what suits your aesthetic. If, like me, your home is already full of baby stuff, you may not be happy with the color scheme.
