Christmas Tree Theme Ideas

Many people are bored with the traditional look of the tree at Christmas.  Here are some great Christmas tree theme ideas to really spice up the season.

Unique Christmas Tree Ideas

Christmas has so many wonderful traditions, one of course being the Christmas tree.  Many people are now using the tree to express their personality and so it has become very popular to create themed trees.

Here are some examples of themes you could do:

1940’s Tree

Find old black and white photos from your parents era and use them to trim the tree with.  Old jewelery, 45’s of favorite songs, vintage ornaments and cars all make great trimmings that reflect that time.  You can use a lace tablecloth as a tree skirt.  To top the tree, how about a 5 by 7 inch black and white photo of a favorite singer or band leader of the 40’s.  Now you can rock around the Christmas tree.

Patriotic Tree

For those who are patriotic a white tree decorated with red and blue ornaments will work well.  You can use a flag for the tree skirt and a flag or maybe an eagle as the tree topper.

Elvis Tree

If you’re an Elvis fan and happen to have collected 45’s of your favorite songs you can tie a ribbon through the centers and hand them on the Christmas tree branches.  Most Elvis fans will have a doll or some sort of memoribilia that will go well atop the tree.  No doubt you’ll want to have a ‘blue’ tree.  Try to find some material with a guitar or a guitar pattern on it to use as a tree skirt.

Some other unique ideas for Christmas trees:

• Decorated in all gold or all silver using ribbons and ball ornaments.
• Covered in white turtledoves.
• Full of musical instruments.
• Full of angel decorations.
• Candle tree (but be very careful with fire near a tree!)
• All the characters from the Muppet show.
• All kinds of shapes and sized of stuffed animals.

If you like to have the traditional Christmas tree then why not too both?  Showcase your themed tree in your front window and keep the traditional tree in your living room.  The possibilities are really endless with creating a themed tree.  Involving the whole family is a great way to create a special memory for everyone involved.

For the patriotic person, a white tree with red and blue Christmas ornaments.  Add a red, white and blue flag blanket as a tree skirt, and at the top of the tree you may want to place a small flag or perhaps an eagle.

An Elvis fan who has a collection of his 45’s may want to trim the tree by putting white  ribbons through the center of the 45’s and hang them on the branches.  Surely, an Elvis fan would have a doll or some other Elvis memorabilia to place on the top of the tree.  Of course, the tree would have to be “blue.”  As for the tree skirt, try to find a blanket or fabric which features a single guitar or several guitars.

Another great idea is to have a 1940’s Christmas tree.  Trim the tree with old pictures from mom and dad’s era; old 45’s of their favorite songs; shoe ornaments reflecting that time; vintage car ornaments; and jewelry as well.  For a tree skirt, you can use a lace table cloth.  Atop the tree, a framed 5×7 picture of mom and dad’s favorite band leader or singer would be perfect. Now you’re really rockin’ around the Christmas tree.
