I got the idea for this tree a few years ago after seeing one in a home I was visiting. I loved it!
I took the idea home with me, changed it a little and made
it my own.
I have a bay window in my kitchen and since purchasing our
farm, have had a Christmas tree in that window decorated for Christmas
to match my kitchen.
I started out with the 3 foot tree for an autumn themed tree
for October and have since purchased a 4 foot tree to hold all the wonderful
fall and Halloween decorations I have found.
Decorating The Tree.
1. Pick the size tree
you want.

| A 4 foot tree to fit my bay window |
2. Add lights, orange for fall and Halloween or just use white.
 |
| Orange lights added |
3. Add fall
decorations, leaves, gourds, witches, ghosts, pumpkins, etc.
4. I like to add a tree topper and extra decorations to the top of the tree.

5. Finish by adding a
fall or Halloween themed tree skirt or material.
I also decorate around the tree with a few of my favorite
Halloween characters.

| A dried pumpkin I painted, sitting on a silver candlestick |
 |
| A metal witch and a dried pumpkin I painted |
Once November arrives, I remove all the Halloween themed
ornaments and decorations and add Thanksgiving:
Turkeys ,
acorns, Indian corn, pilgrims, Indians, cranberries, etc.
 |
| Finished: My autumn decorated Christmas tree |
Do you have special ways you like to decorate for the holidays or do you have
a themed Christmas tree?
September to December are my favorite months. I really enjoy
visiting friends, family, doing lots of cooking, attending parties, and
everything else related to the Holidays.
