Creative Christmas Tree Themes

Being that I own a Children's Theme party business...of course I love these theme Christmas trees from Better Homes and Gardens. Last year I put up 5 trees. It is hard to believe that my trees aren't theme trees! I was thinking to add an Americana tree...then I spotted the Star Spangled Banner tree below and I think it is a sign that I need to add another tree! However, I need to rethink my tree decorating! My trees are color coordinated- one is bronze, copper and brown...to match my living room. One is gold and red. Maddy has her own tree which is pink and we buy Hallmark ornaments every year. (Winnie the Pooh and Barbie series) Her tree goes in her room. When she was born, I thought it would be a nice tradition for us to go pick out her ornaments together every year. By the time she goes to college she will have a nice collection. On the selfish side, I thought when she starts making all of those gorgeous handmade ornaments in school....they can go on her tree as well! LOL

I think I should add this type of tree to my collection. I have tons of leftover stuff from the 4th that I can throw on it. Well see.... I love the simplistic look of this one! Just gorgeous!

This tree reminds me of my childhood. I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and my mother would go to the Monroeville Mall most Saturdays. In the middle of the mall they had a HUGE ice skating rink. So she would drop me off and I would skate while she shopped! I loved it so much. I had my own skates and thought I was Dorothy Hamill! I wanted her haircut so bad- please tell me you all know who I'm talking about and I'm not showing my age! I was very sad to go back as an adult only to see that they have changed that area to a food court!

A heritage tree is a great idea!

You all know I've lived in Arizona now for about 2 1/2 years. However, I lived on the East Coast all of my life except for my time overseas. So I am used to snow!! This cracked me up tonight so I had to share with my blog friends! We went to Glendale Glitters tonight which is located in a really cute historic district. This is a huge festival that they have every weekend after Thanksgiving to Christmas. Look at this sign! People were lined up to pay for their children to play in the snow. They had 2 huge areas of piled "snow" for the kids to play in!

By the looks of things you would think it is freezing here but tonight was around 61 degrees!

Too funny!
