Christmas Tree Challenge: Day 8

Decorating a Xmas tree is always a labour of love, for you cannot just throw baubles around and stick the garland on top. This festive tree is going to set the tone for the year ahead, so it is quite necessary to take your time and to think where to hang which toys, stars, cones, etc.

In my childhood, we had two thematic New Year tree toy collections. One was dedicated to Morozko fairy tale, another – to the famous Ryaba the Hen tale. I loved putting up these “fairy” toys and always tried to hang them fairly close to each other, to preserve the gist of the tale.

I chose a blue-themed tree for this post ahead of my birthday. Its rich colours and flowers seem like a perfect accompaniment for the upcoming year.
