The Weekly’s creative Christmas trees

Traditional, glamorous or contemporary - what kind of Christmas tree will you be opening your gifts under this year?

The Christmas tree is a symbol of the holiday spirit, giving you the perfect opportunity let your Yuletide cheer shine through.

While some people still prefer a traditional or glamorous tree full of decorations, tinsel and ornaments, others opt for a contemporary tree fit for the modern family.

Which is your favourite – traditional, glamorous, or contemporary?

Or you can go down the glamorous route, like The Weekly’s champagne gold Christmas tree (from Myer.com.au). Stick to a strict colour palette and dainty decorations for maximum wow factor.

The traditional Christmas tree is busily adorned with many decorations, including twinkling lights and glass baubles, and topped with the ubiquitous angel or star.

No matter the tree you choose, don’t forget to get the whole family involved in the decorating!
