After years of a "more is more" mindset, it seems we've begun cycling back toward the "less is more" philosophy. We've seen this trend slowly bubble back up in makeup, fashion, home decor, and now . . . Christmas trees. While you may wonder what's more natural than a tree (a valid question), it's not so much about the tree itself as it is about how it looks and how it's decorated. Rather than a "perfect" shape with over-the-top decorations, think: A Charlie Brown Christmas and his imperfect (but adorable) little tree. The look isn't a perfect triangle shape out of an aspirational home decor blog, but rather something that is less full-bodied and more twig-like and natural. Ultimately, the Christmas world is turning its attention toward trees that are imperfect, charming, and lovable at the same time — so much so, we think Charlie Brown would approve. If you enjoy the idea of a minimalist Christmas tree with a twiggy structure and mismatched branches, you're in luck. We picked out the internet's most charming Charlie Brown-esque Christmas trees for your viewing ahead.
