If you are like me, you probably have one of those ornament filled, twinkling 7 footer tree holding court in your living room weeks before December. That's great; but how about doing something different this year? Keep the kingly fir but deck your lawn with mini lighted outdoor christmas trees for all your neighbors to enjoy.
Several of these snow topped trees lining up your walkway are truly lovely to behold. As evening settles in and the miniature trees begin to sparkle, expect delighted expressions from children and adults alike crowding to see your front lawn.
You can get artificial or live miniature trees. It might be a bit challenging to get live trees of the same size and shape but you can go through several christmas tree shops that have a wider selection. Decorate them in small white worm lights and fasten bright garlands of tinsel or mistletoes around the branches of the tree. For the risk takers out there, spray paint the whole lot of them with glow in the dark paint or a sheen of metallic color to get people talking even more.
Synthetic trees will be more cost efficient for you if you plan to put them up for the following yuletide seasons. Decide on the theme and purchase the christmas lights that will complement it the most. There are many varieties available today-multi colored, solid, flashing, round and specially shaped ones. Twist these strands and space them evenly around the boughs. Hang attractive and sparkly accessories and secure it firmly with glue or clear tape.
Take extra precautions with your outdoor decorations so you will still be able to use them for the years to come. Avoid using breakable ornaments, weather conditions can work against you with this. Wrap the trunk of the tree with strong ropes and pole it through the ground firmly. You wouldn't want them flying all around the street do you? You can also cover these sometimes unsightly ropes with taped gift wrapped boxes (fake presents) under the tree.
Before you go to the Christmas tree shops to get your supplies, have you marked out the spot where you want to place them? Is it cleared and near enough a power outlet for the extension cords to be plugged in? Ensure that these extension cords are safely covered to avoid being stepped on; or at least have a sign to warn passersby so they do not trip or crush them inadvertently.
You can also get some of those pre-lighted displays. They are battery operated and many are even timer controlled so you don't need to go out into the cold to turn them off at night. More importantly, you do not have to worry about the sometimes confusing electrical requirements of these decorations. Research and order these mini lighted outdoor Christmas trees by clicking on specialty sites that offer them online.
Once upon a time you had an appreciative audience of family and friends-now your Christmas spirit, as expressed through your beautiful decorations, will be felt by a much larger group of people. You may not personally know everyone of them, but they will know your heart and be blessed by it. Have yourself a Merry Christmas! - 29958
