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.

Post your photos and stories: Tell us in the Comments about your tree-trimming traditions — the more heartwarming, the better — and share a picture or three to illustrate how you and your family bring your holiday vision to life at home each year. There’s a reason it’s called the most wonderful time of the year, and we want to see your wonderful decor choices in action. So pour yourself a mug of eggnog and get posting!
