How Lovely Are Your Branches?

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
how lovely are your branches?

Christmas is my f a v o r i t e holiday!
One of my most enjoyable parts of Christmas is decorating the Christmas Tree!

Since "Mr. Ed" and I aren't hosting Christmas On Crooked Creektt,
I decided to use our Lodge Tree in the upper level Living Room this year.
Usually, this Christmas Tree is decorated in keeping with our Family Room theme.

I debated over whether to keep or remove 
the natural elements of this tree before decorating.
It came with natural twigs, pine cones and twig orbs already attached.

Once I began adding the silver leaf garlands,
it was evident the natural elements would be slightly visible, so on they stayed.

After the two silver leaf garlands were draped around the perimeter 
of our Christmas Tree, I randomly placed sprigs of silver holly into the branches.

Next, 
came six newly purchased golden evergreen springs.

I absolutely l o v e the silver and gold effect 
that is dominating the evergreen appearance of our Christmas Tree!

Using two styles of eighteen champagne ornaments,
randomly placed throughout the Lodge Christmas Tree,
gives a visually appealing cohesiveness.

I placed a variety of six over sized convex glass evergreen 

Christmas Tree and Wreath ornaments within the voided spaces 

of the champagne ornaments.

With just a sprinkling of four bronze and gold crystal teardrop ornaments, 

our 2015  Christmas Tree On Crooked Creektt is nearing completion.

Atop our Christmas Tree 

rest a porcelain champagne Angel.

I, truly, am amazed at how lovely are the branches 

of On Crooked Creektt's  2015 Christmas Tree!

Just as lovely in the daylight as at night. . .
