Maybe you decorate your annual Christmas tree with traditional tinsel, lights and ornaments. Or maybe your Christmas tree isn’t a tree at all, but a bundle of pine branches in a vase or a fir-shaped photo collage that better fits your outside-the-box personality or cramped living room. Either way, your seasonal style shines through in that familiar symbol of the holidays, and we want to see it.
Show us: Do you stick to a particular palette or location for your tree each year? Is there a set of ornaments that has been passed down for generations? We want all the details. Snap a photo of your decorated Christmas tree and post it in the Comments.
Whether you’re on Team Artificial or prefer going all natural, the way you trim your tree says a lot about you and your decor personality.

A weathered wood tree like the Scandinavian one shown here, for instance, puts a spin on the standard setup, trading ornaments and garland for minimalist figurines and Christmas messages. The piece is the perfect holiday accent for an urban apartment short on space.

At the other end of the festive spectrum, a towering traditional tree like this one captures the glow of the season with its crowded branches and thoughtfully designed color scheme.

This year is our first artificial tree and it is great as no allergy problems. Been collecting ornaments for over 30 years and don't have them all displayed on this tree. Love the larger Santa glass ornaments and the Shiny Brights and this year our local shops did not stock them.
