Themed Christmas Trees: Make Yours Unique.

By: Thomas Hunter

Everything has a theme, or idea. Easter’s theme is colorful, light shades. Television shows have theme songs. Brand names and businesses have signature moves and themes. Christmas’s theme is the mix of red and green.

Christmas trees will always be a main attraction in any household. You invite the family over for the day; have the turkey in the oven, carols playing through the stereo system, decorations hung throughout the rooms, the smell of steaming hot chocolate filtering through the kitchen. And then everyone goes into the main room and sees a stick with leaves with an angel glued on top because it wouldn’t stay on any other way. Doesn’t exactly fit the picture, does it?

Trees should be the center of attention in a room; it should be the first thing you notice and the easiest thing to remember in detail. Themed trees are an even more amusing conversation starter.

Your tree should represent you and your sensibilities. If you want to start simple, try going for a snowflake themed tree. You can get snowflake shaped lights to string along, thin garland with glittering ‘snow’, or any other kind of decoration that can support your theme.

If you want something a bit more difficult, try a kid’s tree, if it’ll be in a children’s room or if there are lots of kids coming over. You can tie on crayons, toys, dice, playing cards (the ace of spades, perhaps?), or plastic cars. Rather than an angel on top, try an anime figure from a television show that your kid likes or that is quite popular at the moment.

Perhaps for something more oriented for adults, a vehicle themed tree is in order. Each decoration could be a plastic car of a different model, color, or brand. An oil bucket could steady the base of the tree, and a car hood ornament could be the top angel.

A musically themed tree could draw the eye as well. Ornamental, glittering markings such as treble clefs, or bass clefs could be your angel. You can purchase miniature instruments at most music stores, usually in the form of key chains. Pencils and erasers can be decorated with musical items too, and they’ll add a different kind of look to your tree.

For something more personal, you could find something that your friends associate with you and act on it. Are you an addicted to shopping? Most malls will either give away free or sell for a small fee little items with the name of the mall on it. Key chains are normally the most common, and they work perfectly! Miniature shopping bags (or actual ones that are a bit on the small side that can be hung at the bottom of the tree) are cute, inexpensive and will look perfect for a humorous decoration. Receipts will add to the look (especially if they have some nearly outrageously expensive prices on them!) as long as they don’t have Christmas gifts on them, right along with price tags. Shoeboxes could decorate the bottom of the tree, or heavy catalogues for the season, with perhaps a jewelry box or two hung above. You could top the tree with a Paper Mache angel made out of flyers you received in the mail.

Your personality will be reflected with whatever theme you chose, so take time to choose and make sure it is something you’re willing to spend some money on, although it shouldn’t end up being too much.

Say you’re a teacher and want to jazz up the classroom for the holidays. You might decide to get a tree, most likely a plastic or small on, and theme it with textbooks, both miniature and regular sized. Having a bright red pen and cap hanging will be a cool reminder to students seeing as it’s only used for less that expected marks. Everyday school supplies such as duo-tangs, pencils and pens, calculators, liquid correctors or erasers could dazzle your tree.

Whatever you end up choosing, whether it is a sports gone wild theme or politics and the government, make sure it fits in with the room it’s in. Having a tree with children’s toys on it shouldn’t be in the main room amongst your guests, but it’ll be a treat for your kid to decorate. Think of as a way to surprise your guests - in a good way.
