A Christmas tree is a must in our home when it comes to decorating for Christmas. Even though the synthetic trees have become very popular and look very much like the real thing in my opinion you just can’t get that true tree smell out of a spray on can. Furthermore most of these trees look just a little too perfect to look like something grown naturally. Plus by using real trees you can use the leftover branches to make a wide variety of other arrangements for your home. For one you can place the small branches in a nice basket, position a few pinecones and ornaments inside, and then make some nice bows out of your ribbon for the handles or sides. Another suggestion is to turn the bigger branches into swags to drape over the doors throughout your home. As you walk throughout your home I’m sure you can find many other places around the house to put the evergreen sprigs. Places like on window ledges, bookcase shelfs, fireplace mantels, or any other place you have a ledge comes to mind. When you have evergreen branches and sprigs throughout the home it can help to reflect the fact that it is Christmas. Not only do will they look fantastic, your home will have the refreshing aroma of evergreens throughout the house and not just in the area of the tree.
