Real or artificial, big or small, displayed in the front window or placed in every room in the house — there's no wrong way to display this most essential of Christmas symbols. We’re also seeing more people trade out tree skirts and trains in favor of tree collars made from metals and natural materials.

Whether you add a couple of furry throws to your couch, some candles to your mantle, or a pretty array of birch logs next to the fireplace, lean into decor items that add warmth. Not only will they make your holiday brighter, you don’t have to take them down in the new year. They’ll add charm all through the winter!
