Make Your Tree Reflect Your Personality

Surf's up! Your personal decorated Christmas tree should reflect you, your personality, and your lifestyle. If you live on the beach and are a self-declared beach bum, let that come across in your Christmas decorating. Decorate your tree using a beach theme. To achieve this look is simple, use the tips below:

• Select a color scheme that is pastel and “beachy.”
• Invest in some sea-themed Christmas lights (a simple online search will score you some shell-shaped lights).
• String shells or beads up on your tree instead of popcorn or garland.
• Instead of traditionally wrapping the gifts you will place under your tree, put the one that will fit into colorful beach buckets and accent and conceal them with tissue paper.
• Use a colorful beach blanket or towel as a tree skirt.
• Top the tree of with a starfish.
