We all have our perspective about the design and the art of having the theme of Christmas. We have a lot preparation for these decorations. But, Christmas trees are one of the most common Christmas decorations around the world.

We have a lot of requirements for our own Christmas trees but there are certain general for these has been as traditional. Aside from that your Christmas tree must be a pine tree, here are the most common Christmas tree decorations:

Christmas Balls. These is one of the most important if you are decorating your own Christmas tree. Christmas balls have been traditional as a decoration for Christmas trees and it comes out with many different colours.

As the size of the sphere, it comes from the smallest to the largest size that your Christmas tree can fit to itself. It comes from different colours depending on the theme of your Christmas decorations, like blue, white, green, and the most common is red.

Unlike other Christmas balls, there are some in the market that goes with some designs but the general colour is still applied. Fancies are added to them, changing their colours and styles giving them a brighter and artistic decoration to fit your own Christmas tree.

Candy canes. Candies are preferably for Christmas decorations as it is also somewhat general and traditional. But the most common candy as a Christmas decorations is the candy mint cane though others still decorate their own with other candies, chocolates and other sweetness.

Candy canes come with its mint flavour candy forming a cane with stripes of red and white through its body. These are commonly sold in some candy shops and stores and often used to eat and not to decorate. But people still used to decorate as it is very attractive to children as they love sweet foods.

Christmas lights. For its main purpose, Christmas lights are serve to give light and beauty to anything for Christmas. It is one of the most common Christmas decoration and so for the Christmas tree. Christmas trees and its decorations are useless if there are no lights with it. That is why Christmas trees have to fill it up so that it can be more entertaining and attractive even if it is in dark.

Christmas lights is a set of small lights arranged in one long thread and produces different colours such as blue, green, red, yellow, white, etc. These lights are also producing a rhythmic sequence that is very attractive to our eyes especially in the dark. This will make the tree glowing like it was decorated by stars above twinkling in each branches of the Christmas tree.

Toys. Just like candies, toys give beauty to your Christmas tree as it is also a source of different colours and style. Toys are also attractive to children which they are the most entertained person by a Christmas tree. They are light and can come with great styles and colours. People are not those familiars that toy are used as a decoration but for some it has been an honour especially for the children to hang their favourite toy around a very special tree.

Gifts. Though not part of the a Christmas tree, gifts are considered as a Christmas tree decoration as it give some style to the tree. Gifts are places under the tree as if they are to be shed. They are not hang around the tree because gifts are too heavy and big.

Gifts may come from sizes from small to large with forms such as sphere or a box depending on the thing inside. It is not required to hang around a tree because it may block the other decorations as well as the tree. Unlike small gifts with the same size of other Christmas tree decorations, they can be hang up around the branches as they can be fitted to the tree.

Snowman is one also icon for the Christmas season as it represents a snow during winter. With its natural body of two snow balls (shape like the number 8), a carrot for the nose, two branches of trees for the arms, two things for the eyes and a nice hat you can make a very good-looking Snowman. Snowman is often decorated outside the house so that others may see it with the part of the snow.
