Do You Decorate Your Tree For Other Holidays?
I recently polled you all about how long you keep your Christmas decorations up, but it never occurred to me that anyone would keep their tree up year-round. That is, until my pal Molly sent over this link to Bronner's Christmas decorating tips which suggests decorating your artificial tree for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween, etc.
My Somewhat Childish Christmas Décor
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member (and Sugar staffer!) Nancita from the Su Casa group:
My apartment is pretty small, which means a small tree in the dining room, but I'm trying. I love incorporating my childhood ornaments, along with vintage-looking (but LED) multicolored lights.

Guess Whose Christmas Tree This Is?
A Southern songstress recently tweeted this photo of her Christmas tree with the caption, "One of my christmas trees..white butterflies, white doves, white owls...ect. This is my tree of peace :)" It's a beautiful tree; I like that she kept the palette to white and gold. It's too bad that she no longer has a big hunky boyfriend to share it with this holiday season, but at least she has her hair stylist.

Guess What Type of Lights Are on the National Christmas Tree?
This year, the National Christmas Tree is lit from tip to bottom with a type of energy-saving light. Can you guess what these lights are?
My Christmas Tree
This is a post from Lovely Little Vignettes member Lauren of the CasaSugar Community:
Who needs a real Christmas tree when you have a glitter one? My husband and I are never home for the holidays. So instead of going all out in the decoration department, which seems a little silly, I pulled out my sparkle tree to bring a little holiday cheer to the house!
Casa Quickie: Wrap It Up
If you don't own a tree skirt, or don't want to spend money on one, take a cue from Gap and wrap your Christmas tree stand up like a present! You can use any old piece of fabric to do so, be it a scarf, a tablecloth, or just a remnant. Lay the fabric down, place the tree in the center of it, and then lay packing peanuts or any other sort of stuffing around it to create a more round shape.
Casa Quickie: Costume Jewelry as Ornaments
I'm definitely an enthusiast of fresh-cut Christmas trees, but I also appreciate small doses of more kitschy and colorful holiday décor. I think if you go that route, you have to own up to the tackiness of it, and really go all out. So, I decided to bling out this bare mini pink tree with my big box of costume jewelry, using rock star pins, clip-ons, buttons, keys, pendants, and guitar picks as ornaments.
DIY: Recycled Catalog Christmas Tree
I was inspired by either random creativity or divine procrastination to turn a stack of DWR catalogs and expired gossip glossies into festive Christmas trees. The project took me under 10 minutes to complete. My catalog collection has been piling up since Nov.
10 Stylish Reusable Christmas Trees
I do love the scent of a seasonal fir in my living room, but I also understand the appeal of having a reusable Christmas tree. I've shown you a few ways to make an artificial tree looks fabulous, but I thought I'd show you a few very handsome and chic reusable trees that already have stand-alone style.
