Christmas is becoming somewhat of a routine nowadays with artificial trees being used more and the media showing us how things "should" look.Why can we not stick to our own personal preferences? After all, Christmas is truly about family and appreciating what we have.How comforting and warm would a tree that reflects on your life and family be? All you would have to do is glimpse at that one unique bauble that reminds you of your Grandfather and you feel the great sensation Christmas is all about, being with family and appreciating what we have.To create a tree that is decorated to reflect on your life, take into consideration what means a lot to you and your family.Gather together things such as something special your Grandmother adored, something bought for a birthday or when a baby was born in the family.All these items can be incorporated into decorating the tree somehow and forming that special feeling.If you have children you could also create decorations that represent each year of their lives.Every year you could create a decoration that shows something they have done that year that has made you proud or a significant memory.Anything is possible ranging from the first words to a painting that was made for you from school.Let your creative juice flow!A great way to form a fantastic looking tree is to stick to a theme.You can make your theme a personalised one by taking something that interests you and using that as a theme.For example, if you are interested in diverse cultures and travelling, take something from each country or place you have visited and use it as a decoration.Then each time you see that particular decoration you will be swarmed with memories and thoughts of being there.Whether your interests are sports, music, horticulture, online gaming and so many more, in some way you can incorporate your ideas into a theme for the Christmas tree.All year round it's a great idea to keep your eye out for particular items that can be used as decorations that mean something to you.All the decorations you gather up will in years to come be passed down and used by your children and their children and so on.Creating your own personalised Christmas tree is a great way to keep your family history known.
