Next stop, Tinseltown!
December is here – time to put up the tree and pull the dusty box (or boxes) marked “Christmas” out of the crawl space.
But, suggests an expert, before decorating the traditional conifer – or a plastic device like a conifer, no matter what you’re interested in – Stop for a moment and ask yourself if your tree is really good, You,
How we deck the halls can say a lot about us — and that’s actually a good thing, says Tarot reader Inbal Honigmann of Tarot2.com.
Especially this time of year, Honigman explained, “We all have a chance to put our energy into our everyday objects.”
“Christmas is a time to slow down and reflect on who we are and be grateful for our families and those we hold dear. The fact that you can bring their energy into your Christmas decorations is a beautiful way to embrace the spirit of the season.
With that in mind, here is a selection of recommendations for how to decorate your tree this year based on your personality.
outgoing socializer
Think colors, think pop culture, think loud, be proud, and be fun.
“If you like talking to people and commenting on things, this is the tree for you,” Honigman said.
“Incorporate pop culture references and ornaments that reference your favorite events of the year,” she suggests.
minimalist
Those simple, Scandinavian trees with a bunch of white candles and nothing else? made for you.
Honigman said, “Minimalist may think of Christmas trees as unnecessary use of ornaments, so you may want to opt for a barely-there tree that reflects the simplicity of the season without overwhelming the space around it.” “
“To avoid clutter, just hang wooden ornaments and a few white lights that switch on slowly and ambiently. A tree like this keeps your energies aligned without changing the spirit of your arrangement or compromising your philosophy.
Maximalist
Obviously, you’re going over the top to bring your “live energy” to your natural canvas – and you don’t care what anyone thinks.
“A maximalist won’t shy away from going over the top with ribbon, lights and a rich color scheme,” enthuses the energy expert.
“Aim to cover every inch with extravagant ornaments and ribbons. Be creative and wild with jewelry and don’t reject any idea that comes to your mind.
nature lover
“For those who can’t decide which tree to bring home because they are all equally beautiful, a rustic, forest-inspired tree might be best. If you’re a nature lover, a tree that displays pinecones, dried fruit wood and real greenery is a dream,” Honigman said.
“This tree is for people who look forward to the Christmas holidays that ground them and make them feel connected to nature. To go one step further in eco-friendly style, you can opt for reclaimed wood as the base.
cat person
Childless Cat Ladies and gentlemen, gather around!
“If trees are left to the curiosity of cats they can put valuable ornaments at risk,” warns Honigman.
“Therefore, a cat-friendly tree would ideally be either smaller than a regular tree or attached to a wall to prevent climbing and falling. You should especially use shatterproof ornaments and hang decorations sparingly in the upper branches of the tree to prevent your kitten from knocking them over while playing.
passionate family man
“This tree works best if you have a large family. To make it even better, each member should bring an ornament that they feel reflects their personality and energy,” said the tree tip giver.
“As the years go by, the tree becomes about family heirlooms and cherished moments together. It’s easy to bring something that you feel represents you from the past year and hang it on your family tree.
tourist
“If your passion is exploring new places and learning about other cultures, this tree is for you. This is an easy-to-obtain tree: use souvenirs from your travels, such as key chains and trinkets, to decorate it.
“Post cards can also be hung if you carefully hold one end and string it around a tree branch. This way your memories are preserved and your tree becomes a monument to your adventurous spirit.”
quirky creative
People are expecting the unusual from you – so give it to them.
“A creative thinker who would like to challenge the format of Christmas trees will love this style,” Pro said.
“Go for unconventional looks with unexpected colors and color schemes, bringing an asymmetrical style. The shape, ornamentation and color should all celebrate your originality and quirky style.
stylish trendsetter
Honigmann suggested that a fashionable Christmas lover should have an “Emily in Paris” of trees.
“A stylish trendsetter knows that there is only room for a few things in a tree, but each item plays an important role in the overall look,” he said.
“Opt for metallic tones, monochrome schemes and use only sleek and sophisticated jewellery…make it as eye-catching as possible.”
tech enthusiast
Look up from your screen long enough to create something truly unique.
“With a digital firepit, the tech enthusiast tree displays LED lights that change color with the pattern. These are also easy to control from smartphones and nature sounds can be implemented instead of holiday carols,” the seasonal watcher said.
