2020 has been a year we are all standing there like the Emoji girl with her hands up in the air. It’s the year the world stayed home and I’m calling it...people are going to loose their minds with decorating & styling their homes all things Christmas.

Watch the feeds on your socials be filled with Christmas Tree’s that look like they belong in Central Park or Macy’s.

It’s about to get serious and I am here to help you come up with a game plan!

First things first there is some Christmas Tree Lingo you should familiarise yourself with;

‘Flocked’ Snow covered

‘Fluffying’ The process of shaping your Christmas Tree to look fuller, it’s an art, check it out on You Tube!

‘Tree skirt’ A cover for the eye sore base of your Tree

‘Tip Count’ The number of needles per branch, the higher the fluffier.

End of lesson, CONGRATULATIONS you are now a Christmas Tree expert!

This is the year we go all out and bigger is better!

If you got it flaunt it, high ceilings = high tree.

7-7.5 Ft (200-240cm) is suitable for standard ceiling height

8-9 ft (240—275cm) is suitable for raised ceilings

Bed Bath n Table - Huge range in all different themes, reasonably priced & great quality. My go to for Christmas Dec's, they have a great variety of Poinsettia's and Baubles.

Target - Cost effective and can buy in bulk, to fill out your tree you can grab a pack of Baubles and then you can buy some sweet individual ones.

Myer Festive shopping experience & large unique range. I love that they have their decorations set up in theme order. My local store had heaps in stock so I was able to buy at least 5-10 of the same one

Big W Grand Pine $129 Budget conscious but definitely fluffy enough to do the job.

Myers Cashmere Pine $299 This is a lovely tree, I recommend visiting the Myer Giftorium this season to check it out in the flesh, they always have this department looking so festive & the big city stores do great Santa photos. This will likely be my pick this year.

Balsam Hill Fir starting from $379 A Balsam Hill Tree is an investment, it’s a tree you keep for years and years. The Fir was inspired after the Fraser Fir which is regarded the best Christmas tree species in nature. I am yet to talk to someone who regrets their Balsam Tree investment...If the budget stretches, this is the one. They currently have 40% off until 24/11!

This is a personal choice and there are some Pro’s and Con’s for both. If this is something you have been wanting to try, this is your year as Native Australian décor is very much in!

• Smells delish
• Annual family tradition to go a pick one
• Drops needles and can be messy
• Bugs
• Not great for hayfever sufferers

• No need to water or maintenance
• Can put up when you want (No risk of dying)
• Don’t have to dispose of
• Have to store each year
• Less environmentally friendly

Happy Fluffing and Flocking! Anyone else keen to start a trend on leaving the Tree up for half the year?
