Tips On Hosting a Christmas tree trimming party
Do you remember when the Christmas season was less of a hassle
and more of a joyous time spent with family and friends? Back in
the day, families just seemed to have enough time to sit back
and enjoy the holiday season. Today, on the other hand, many
people get harried, rushed and basically stressed out during the
Christmas holiday. There just seems to be no time to enjoy any
of life's simple pleasures when there is so much shopping and
entertaining to squeeze in during a short period of time.
Take trimming the tree for instance. As a kid, I can remember
the whole family gathered around the tree, Christmas music
blaring in the background, warm home-baked cookies and cool milk
in our tummies, as each of us took a turn to place our most
precious and beloved ornaments on the tree. And when we got done
trimming our Christmas tree, we loaded up and went to Grandma's
and started the whole thing over. It was a time of being
together, a time of love, laughter and celebration that the
whole family slowed down to enjoy and appreciate.
Now, fast forward... I'm not going to say how many years; that
would be too revealing. Let's just say to today. In many
households the act of trimming the tree has evolved into more of
a hectic holiday task than a chance to enjoy and celebrate the
season. I've even heard many moan and groan about having to put
up the Christmas tree when they got home from work. If this is
the way things are at your house around the holidays, maybe you
should think about hosting a tree trimming party to recapture
that holiday spirit.
A Christmas tree trimming party can turn what was once viewed as
a tedious chore into a joyous holiday gathering with your
closest friends and loved ones. All you need is a tree,
decorations, a few appetizers and your favorite people.
Here's how you can host a tree trimming party at your home
during this Christmas season.
