Gather the whole fam — here’s how to have a fun afternoon setting up your very own Christmas tree.
Our absolute favourite season of the year is almost here and we really couldn’t be more excited. Cue the Christmas feasting, presents, gifts and, of course, a glittering Christmas tree! It’s time to set aside an afternoon, gather the whole fam, and have fun setting the tree up together – you’ll wow your guests with a fantastic tree centrepiece.
1. Get your decorating essentials ready
It’s easy! First, start by loading up on ornaments. There are so many possibilities: how about some pretty gold ribbons, rustic pine cones, glittering baubles, or even a couple of festive flowers, leaves or berries? And for the cherry on top, an eye-catching tree topper to complete the look. Psst, don’t forget the twinkling lights too!
Onto the tree: the last thing we’d want is a tree that’s too artificial, ruining the aesthetics of our festive decor. A real Christmas tree looks and smells nice and all, but the upkeep can be a little tricky. Plus, wouldn’t it be better to invest in a tree that you can use year after year?
Masons Home Decor’s hyper-realistic trees are a great option – boasting a gorgeous shade of green, plus a wide and dense structure. Choose from the umberto short pine, arenaria balsam fir, abaco giant needle pine, or amazzonia cashmere pine.
The trees are all made with FirTECT technology, which replicates the appearance and traits of the fir tree. This ensures that each trunk has an ample number of branches, with thick foliage on each individual branch, creating a dense uniformity and making it look and feel almost like the real thing!
2. Time to break out the tree
Now, here’s the fun part. In case you’re worried about the tree being hard to set up, think again. You won’t even have to manually bend out and unfurl the branches; all of the above trees have easy-open branches that swing out with ease. This not only makes the process more seamless and way less tedious, but it also increases the lifespan of your tree. Each tree also comes with a stand so all you have to do is to pop it in, easy peasy lemon squeezy. And yes, it’s a breeze for children too!
While you’re at it, why not add on some spiffy decorations, like a cute little Christmas gnome mantelpiece, or a classic wreath to hang on your front door? Shop them all from Mason’s Home Decor.
3. Let the party begin!
Set the mood by putting on your favourite Christmas playlist, and breaking out the yummy goodies too. Think: gingerbread men, cookies with icing, hot chocolate with marshmallows… the works. If you like, you can even dress the whole gang up in matching sweaters.
