Tuesday Thoughts

What does your Christmas tree say about you?

----

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL

If you are a person who likes real trees you probably like the outdoors. You enjoy creating an ambiance that invokes smell as well as sight.

Real tree people think that the experience of searching out the Christmas tree, chopping it down and dragging it back to the old homestead is all part of the fun.

If you like artificial trees, you like an investment that lasts. You want something pretty, but don’t want to make a lot of fuss.

Artificial tree owners can also be perfectionists. They don’t like to deal with gaps in the branches or dropping needles of a real tree.

WHITE LIGHTS OR MULTICOLORED LIGHTS

If you have white lights on your tree, you think of each light as a tiny star. White light people like simplicity.

White lights convey the serenity of an “Oh, Holy Night.”

Conversely, multicolored lights say, “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.”

People who like multicolored lights are party people. They like the festive feeling of multicolored lights because it reminds them of a disco or Las Vegas.

MATCHING OR ECLECTIC ORNAMENTS

If you have a tree with an eclectic assortment of ornaments, each one having a special meaning or story, you value your past and family history.

The decoration of an eclectic tree is often a group effort. Some people hang the ornaments as others string popcorn and cranberries. Even the littlest elves in the house take part in decorating the eclectic tree.

A matchy-matchy ornament tree is usually a one-woman (or man) show: a person with a vision of what a perfectly coiffed tree should look like.

Matching ornament people like order and consistency. They usually have a theme for their Christmas tree, such as Victorian, Old World or country.

ANGEL OR STAR

Angel people believe in a higher power guiding their lives and directing their path. Angel people might have, at some point, imagined what it would have been like to be in that choir of angels, as told of old, who sang to shepherds guarding their flocks by night that a babe was born in Bethlehem.

Star people are the hopefuls, they hope for a better, brighter tomorrow.

They are sign seekers. They lead their lives by sometimes imperceptible directional arrows.
