Among my favorite things, Christmas most definitely ranks in the top three of all time. Who doesn't love Christmas? I mean, between the yummy christmas dinners and fun family carols, I got my heart full already. Unfortunately, January comes much too soon for my personal preference, but that shouldn't stop us from making the most out of the season right? Let's take a look at the best ways on how to trim a christmas tree-it is as simple as it is enjoyable.

Before anything else, you need the perfect christmas tree. Pick it up at any christmas tree store. Bring gloves to protect your hands from the chill and nicks; and blankets to protect your car from tree needles and sap stains. Measure your home's floor to ceiling height (twice to make sure); and buy a fir that is of the appropriate size.

Have the tree washed, cleaned and pruned before you bring it inside your home. When it is dry, fluff the needles up thoroughly, they usually get flattened in transit. Set it in its stand securely and begin putting up the lights. Personally, I start from the lowest tier, coiling it around the branches until I reach the top. Christmas lights today come in different colors, sizes and shapes; choose one that will best complement your theme.

For the best christmas tree decorating ideas, run with your imagination and see where it takes you. Really, as long as it's not illegal (too gaudy is labeled illegal), you can do whatever you want. Start with the color palette of your choice. Go traditional with red and green; cool with blue and silver; eye popping with neon pink and green. Personally, I love the glam a little shimmer can do so highlight with sparkles and glitters all around.

Next, build up on the decorations based on whatever theme you have in mind. How about an edible ornamented tree with stringed popcorns, candy canes and other treats hanging from the boughs. For an opulent feel, decorate with rich red velvet trimmings and many strands of pearl garlands. You can also bring the country into your home with sprigs of colorful baby's breath and aromatic herbs tied on the tree's branches.

And finally, fill in the spaces between the tree with different texture and styles of christmas balls. Vary the sizes but make sure it still ties in with the over-all theme you're going for. Another great trick is to get a handful of glitters and toss it over the fir tree. It will settle on the green pine needles and when it gives off the rainbow flecks of light, it will look truly spectacular. Sweep up the needles and glitters when you're done.

Now you know the easy and complete guide on how to trim a christmas tree, I'm sure you can't wait to get started. When you're done, be sure to throw a party. Not just to rake in the guaranteed compliments for your tree-but to celebrate life and the opportunities of a fresh new year ahead. Merry Christmas!
