The Rise of the Pink Christmas Tree, a New Holiday Tradition
Christmas is a holiday filled to the brim with tradition — Christmas trees, caroling, food, and gift giving all are classic facets of this winter holiday. However there is something to be said about boldly breaking away from the norm and creating a really fresh look. One idea that many families are considering is a pink Christmas tree. It’s a clever compromise between the traditional and the eclectic. The tall, noble tree still gains a well-loved spot in the home, yet the vibrant pink color is a mark of uniqueness that will truly be the talk of the party, if not the talk of the whole neighborhood! If you’ve never owned a pink Christmas tree, here are some tips to make sure you select one worthy enough to grace your family room:
First, size is everything, even when your Christmas tree’s color is more reminiscent of a well loved ice cream flavor than anything out of nature’s personal paint store. A pink Christmas tree that’s too tall leaves little room for crowning ornaments, such as angels or stars. To avoid space issues and possible damage to the ceiling, make sure that you measure the distance between the ceiling and floor before going out to purchase a tree.
Next, you’ll want to consider the decorations you already have, coupled with any additional decorations you may be purchasing this year. After all, a pink Christmas tree already commands a lot of attention, so a “less is more” approach may be best. Silver ornaments compliment the deep pink shade of the tree the most, with gold ornaments providing a flashy, dazzling accent when used sparingly. Take the challenges of decorating a pink Christmas tree as an opportunity to showcase the ornaments that mean the most to you and your family. the others can be given to a needy family or simply stored for another year.
Finally, select the best location that will show your pink Christmas tree to the fullest. This doesn’t have to be the living room or the den. Those looking to really show off their unique holiday tastes can always take the ‘room” part completely out of the equation and display their exotic pink Christmas tree in the front yard. Measure and security will need to be modified, but it’ll all be worth it when the compliments on your new style start rolling in!
Will everyone be ecstatic about the sight of a pink Christmas tree? Unfortunately, it’s impossible to please everyone all of the time, as the saying goes. The only thing that can be done is simply to decorate your wonderful tree tastefully with the signs of Christmas that matter most to you and your family. Everything else comes second to the happiness that you and your family deserve.
There’s no rule that says you have to do what everyone else is — a pink Christmas tree can liven things up quite nicely and be a conversation piece for months, even years to come!
