Don't hang the ornaments yet...
Themed Christmas trees are popular because you can include your personality into your holiday decorations and Christmas ornaments.

Here's 24 of my own unique Christmas tree decorating themes with hand-selected ornaments and a few popular themes I've seen over the years added to the list. To be completely unique, choose 2 or 3 different themes and mix them up a little bit. ;-)

- I have been doing themed trees for about 6 years now. It can be expensive, but it can also set th tone for the whole season! If you remember to buy basic bulbs you can reuse it cuts the cost. I've done a pastry theme, The Grinch, Peacock, Bethlehem, Ice and more. Just find whatever inspires you for the season and build on it. it could be 1 ornament, wrapping paper, a chirstmas card, a memory, a song, anything!
