I have the regular round balls but also have some deer, birds, pinecone and leaf ornaments. Some years I throw in some bright aqua balls too for a pop of color. I plan to have a small kids tree once our daughter (and other future kids) gets older and it will have our childhood ornaments and any she makes. It will be the fun and colorful one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme/page/2#post-1911420 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:39:32 +0000 fairy 1911420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really I just stick to "family Christmas" theme haha. I have a lot of ornaments that were handed down or made by my grandmother(she does lots of crafts) and I have some commemorative ornaments like for "our first christmas", ornaments to represent where we come from (crab for MD, sports teams, etc) and just ones that look cute. :P I was just in Hallmark today looking at all their fancy ones that play music or move or light up - so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme/page/2#post-1910634 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:49:11 +0000 mrsjyw 1910634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On our main tree we have a set that has a color theme.

We have a few we have collected over the years, too, and I love those. I'm so excited to start thinking about what we want to get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme/page/2#post-1910318 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:06:44 +0000 Mae 1910318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of? We do two trees. The one in the great room is just anything I think is pretty. Which means total variety. The one in the man cave (which has actually become our primary living space) is a tacky white tree with neon lights that we do up with all our special ornaments. Those are the ones we get every time we travel and also we buy a funny tin ornament from target every year. Classy trees don't say Christmas to me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme/page/2#post-1910316 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:03:49 +0000 charmed 1910316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done two trees the last few years: one will have all our sentimental ornaments, then the other will have a color theme. This year will be the last time we do that - the next few Christmases will have baby/child-proof trees :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1910315 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:03:29 +0000 honeybear 1910315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ornament collection is largely handmade (by me and now LO) plus a few pretty things I've bought when the mood struck, so there isn't a theme for our tree beyond 'crowded'. I like an overstuffed tree! :)</p> <p>However, our collection is getting to the point where I'm considering doing a mostly themed tree, with the addition of ornaments that are so special they must go on every year. The themes I've considered include birds, Santas, angels, etc., rather than a color scheme. I'm not sure that I can suppress my instinct to use ALL of the ornaments, though! I mean, I've spent a lot of time making and selecting these things and I like them, you know? ;) I may have to do two trees instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1910292 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 06:05:33 +0000 avivoca 1910292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is a hot mess of sentimental ornaments and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1910275 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 04:48:20 +0000 Snowdrop 1910275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: your living room looks gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1910229 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 23:20:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1910229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

I used to do only gold and silver, then I changed it to teal, lime, silver, and gold (sounds awful, but was so pretty in person), and as of last year we went to red and gold, at my husband's request. He's hindu but kept complaining that it didn't feel like Christmas without red. I had to go out and buy a new tree skirt and everything. I can't find a good picture from the teal and lime days--this is the only one I can find, but it was before I added the tree skirt and matching mantle decorations. </p> [attach=2976/14/ndtoil.600x359.christmas-tree.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1910032 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:23:30 +0000 sapphire 1910032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy ornaments as souvenirs when we travel, so ours overall has a travel/geography theme, but there are a lot of other random ones too.<br /> We also have a set of glass ornaments hat were my parents first set - from when they got married in the 60s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1909692 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:21:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1909692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A color theme: red, green &amp; sparkle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1909687 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:20:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1909687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our theme is "memories" because our tree is filled with ornaments from everywhere we visit!</p> <p>I started buying felt ornaments from target after we had Chloe &amp; decorate the bottom half of the tree in anything unbreakable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-christmas-tree-ornaments-have-a-theme#post-1909667 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:11:36 +0000 Boheme 1909667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Your tree is adorable! </p> <p>We have two trees every year, since we got married near Christmas.

I've slowly added more rustic, creams, and beige, wood, felt, etc. ornaments. Still overall, I prefer a neutral tree.
