Green, white, and wooden ornaments paired with velvet and beaded garland makes for a rustic, farmhouse style Christmas Tree. White lights really create a warm and cozy holiday atmosphere for the season.
Oh, Christmas tree, how I love you! It’s my favorite part of the holiday season, and always will be. That glow at night just creates the most cozy spot in the house, and makes me want to fall asleep on the couch right next to it. Picking out the perfect mix of ornaments and garland, putting your creativity to the test, I love it all!
For this years tree I went with pearly white, hunter green, and mercury glass balls, paired with my favorite wooden ornaments I stained a few years ago. I also added some velvet green ribbon and raw wooded bead garland to tie it all together. Our tree is a hand me down that is pre-lit with pinecones added as well. It’s done us well for five years.
Another one of my favorite parts of Christmas, that goes right along with decorating the tree, is choosing wrapping paper. I always love to match my gifts to the theme of my tree, and this year is no different. I love to use brown kraft paper and mix it with a patterned paper, and top them all off with ribbon or twine.
Another thing that is fun, is to add old crates in with your presents. I mean, if you are really looking to go that extra mile in your Christmas decor, it really adds a little vintage touch to the entire tree experience. Last year I even added huge glass jars with candles in them around the tree.
The magic is really when the lights go on. That glow gets me every single time and I feel all the feels of Christmas! It brings me back to my childhood when I was kid, and I can’t wait to share that feeling one day with my own kids.
What are your favorite Christmas tree ornaments? How about fun traditions?

Your tree is beautiful and I love seeing a new post from you! I love Christmas also and have a ten foot tree. It is decorated using all Shiny Brite ornaments and is truly a joy to my family. All the ornaments were collected from yard sales or flea markets over a period of time. Your wooden box under the tree was a special touch. While you remain in my prayers for taking it easy during the time, I really, really look forward to your posts.

I love to theme Christmas trees but my husband and kids prefer the hodgepodge of ornaments. Each of our kids gets a new ornament every year to remind them of what they liked that year. It’s fun to see how their interests have changed over the years and it gives them a start on their own Christmas ornament collection for when they grow up and leave home.
My absolute favorite Christmas tree theme was many years ago when I strung popcorn and cranberries to make a garland and hung dried oranges with burgundy and cream check ribbon. It was not easy stringing popcorn but the end result was absolutely beautiful!!
