There are so many ways to decorate your Christmas tree.  Some people choose to keep it traditional, some do themes, and others go all out.  So what's the secret to having the best Christmas decorating experience?

It's actually all depends on how well you packed away your lights and ornaments last year.  If you took the time to do it in an orderly fashion, chances are you will have less stress and you will cut your decorating time in half.  If the lights are tangled and the ornaments are scattered in various boxes, you may have a longer day or night ahead of you.

I received a call from Kodey's Tree Farm in Endwell today and they wanted me to pass the word that they have 8 freshly cut small trees that they are willing to give away free to any family that may not be able to afford a Christmas tree this year.  Pass the word as I'm sure they will go fast.

In the meantime, here are 50 Christmas trimming ideas.  Merry Christmas!
