I had blues, silvers, lilacs and pale pinks a couple of years ago which I really liked, but thought made the room look quite cold and un-Christmassy. So last year I changed them all for more traditional reds and golds and it was amazing how much more warm and cosy the room looked! I use all sorts of different decorations, baubles, icicles and stars, and last year I used that lovely wired ribbon (about 2 inches wide) which I curled into a long chain (so they looked like ringlets) and then hung them from the tree vertically � very effective and a nice change to tinsel which I can�t stand the smell of (weird � I know!)
