There's
a new trend with Christmas trees this year -- skinny is in! Tall and skinny
trees are all the rage this year --
both real and fake. We're talkin' trees
up to 15 feet high, but half as wide. There are even the more extreme
"pencil" trees which are as narrow as 18 inches across.
If you're
thinking of heading in the "skinny tree" direction this year, take this advice
from a professional
Christmas tree decorator (from the Wall St Journal
online):
Start at the top with small ornaments and work down using
medium-size ornaments, reserving large
ornaments for the trunk area and near
the bottom. He suggests maintaining an overall sleek, simple
presentation for
the slim tree but using plenty of flashy gift-wrap for the presents
underneath.
