A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen pine, spruce, or fir with year-round foliage that is embellished with ornaments as part of the celebrations. It is a symbol of the birth and resurrection of Jesus, while its branches and bushes symbolize immortality and the crown of thorns worn by Christ. The Christmas trees can be freshly cut, potted or artificial with out-of-the-box designs that can inspire your own creativity. Here are some unique ideas that can help one continue the annual Christmas tree tradition and experiment with unconventional Christmas tree decorating ideas.
