A solution for having different brands of lights (for future years): wrap the tree with one type and then layer the other type over. This way, there is a blend of the two types of lights throughout the tree. We had to do this a few years ago and it actually looked good with two different types of lights!

Your tree is gorgeous, Lara! Very artsy! We put up our tree (a Fraser fir) on Saturday. My 8 year old (Kyla) was begging to decorate it right away, but I wanted to make sure it was drinking water and let the branches relax a little first. Well, Sunday morning I came downstairs to a lighted tree! Some little elves must have done it. I'm usually the one to put the lights on because, I, too, like to wrap them around each branch, but it looked good enough that I decided to save time and just leave it.

What did you do when your kids were little and wanted to pick everything off of the tree? This year, we put all breakables above where Kaitlyn can reach, and sturdy ornaments below, and Kaitlyn is having a great time rearranging those ones 🙂

I am so glad you are giving instructions on how you decorate your tree. I feel like I need some serious help in this department. So I can't wait to see your next posts on this topic; and I can't wait until next year when I will be able to decorate my tree in my own home. Have a Merry Christmas Lara!

So pretty! Red and Gold is our color scheme too. I bought one of those giant ornament boxes from Target a few years ago, and built around it. Pier One has great ornaments and Christmas decorations that I buy after Christmas.
