The old one that my family’s been using every Christmas has been serving us since 1992, methinks. So I figured this year would be a good year to have the old tree retire and buy a new one. One that looks more realistic and less plasticky, if there’s such word.
So off we went to a local mall and went through a whole day’s worth of shopping for a new tree and the decor we’ll be putting on it. My mum likes changing motifs every year so I said I’ll design the tree this year. I chose a blue/white/silver theme for this year. Last year, it was orange.
Got some blue poinsettias, silver and white Christmas balls, white LED lights and silver ribbon. Here’s what it looks like right now:
This isn’t the final product. We plan to add a bit more in the next couple of weeks, like some white twigs and more poinsettias, white ones to be exact. I originally wanted a white tree instead of the classic green one but mum wouldn’t hear any of it. But I’m liking how it looks right now. Spent quite an amount of money for this but I’m happy with the current look.
Have you started putting up Christmas decor where you live?

Might I suggest throwing in a bit of gold?
We did consider that but we decided against it and stuck to blue and silver. ^_^

Cute tree though ^^
Christmas decorating… we skip that annually ^^;
Hahaha! Honestly, though, I wasn’t even thinking of Ateneo colors when I decided on this color scheme. I was more inspired by the white Christmas trees in Megamall.
