10 Ways to Trick Out Your Trees This Christmas
Candy Cane Lane resident sophomore Becca Lindley offers tips for decking your halls in award winning style.
- Buy a lot of decorations and put them up. Get crazy decorations, like the blow up ones, because they look cool. For lights, get the different colored ones, so it’s not all one color.
- Put the decorations up early so you can appreciate them. Put them up together as a family, maybe during Thanksgiving break because that’s a good time to get into Christmas.
- Make sure your lights work before you get them up. Buy extra backup lights because it’s really annoying when all of them work except for one part, and then you don’t have any extra.
- Have some chocolate chip cookies with regular milk.
- Listen to Christmas music. My favorite is “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth.”
- Spend time with your family and friends. Watch Christmas movies like “Elf,” “Christmas with the Kranks,” and “Polar Express.”
- Put lots of decorations up inside and outside. I like the homemade decorations that we made when we were little kids because it reminds me of when we were little. We always buy a Christmas decoration that says where we went on vacation. Hang some lights around your room.
- Make sure you appreciate everything you have. Give to others, like Angel Tree gifts and giving presents to other family members.
- Eat a bunch of food. We eat sausage that’s wrapped in bacon that’s actually really good, a bunch of different types of salads, potatoes, and ham or turkey.
- Decorate gingerbread houses and make a competition out of it. Mine always looks horrible though.
