The Christmas tree is up and decorated. It looks so pretty. I love it! I like to not decorate it so traditionlly. I perfer to use things that aren't really intended for Christmas trees. I use sheer iridescent ribbon in lieu of garland. And I add bunches of flowers and berries to fill it in. I also use a lot of bows,balls of all sizes and crystal ornaments as the white lights bounce off of the glass and creates prisms. I love it!
