Tradition is important at Christmas, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room to shake things up.
There are ways in which we can put a different spin on the standard festivities, such as by choosing a twig Christmas tree. Read on for our guide to what you need to know about them.
What are twig trees?
Twig Christmas trees are ones that are created from twigs and sticks. These are carefully worked into the shape of a typical festive tree. It is possible to buy twig trees from garden centres and other stores, but you can also make one of your own using items found in the garden.
Why are they so popular?
One reason so many people like twig trees is the fact that they resemble normal Christmas trees, but with a unique rustic twist. Then there is the fact that they are often cheaper to buy than standard trees, which can be helpful at a time when living costs are high. Others also enjoy exercising their creativity by building a twig tree of their own.
Can you decorate them?
Yes, a twig tree can be decorated just the same as any other kind of festive tree. Some people opt to put normal festive baubles and fairy lights on their trees, but others take a different approach. Instead of the traditional types of decoration, people may choose to stick with the natural theme of the tree by adding different coloured dried fruits. It’s all down to your personal preferences, and how you want to decorate your home this Christmas.
