The epitome of class - trees with dignity.

What makes a tree classy? Number one is proper upright posture which fortunately pine trees are very good at having. But there's more, I promise you!


An abundance of white lights and monochromatic ornaments

Contributor: LaurieAnn (Ontario, Canada) says, "We take about a week to light and decorate. Most of the ornaments are crystal, glass or sentimental. Bryan (hubby) collects Christmas ornaments including Swarovski snowflakes so there are 9 of those on this tree. They are quite spectacular ornaments."


A fireplace always add a touch of chicness

From the warm glow of the atmosphere to the glistening of the tree right down to the Victorian picture in the background; This room couldn't be any more inviting.


Ambiance, candles are marvelous at it

This is one of those shots that you need to look at for a little bit before you can process everything. The delicate tree topper, the hidden house and the out of focus candles are all things that add to the photo once you can acknowledge all at once.


The occasional primary color makes everything look all the more brilliant

The red in this picture does a great job at contrasting the gold. Making it even more sparkly and gorgeous.

Location location location, if the tree doesn't fit in forget it

No problem here with the tree matching the rest of the room. I love how they put garland on the mantle that has the same color scheme as the tree. Your eye wants to follow it to the candles on the left and then to the floral arrangement on the floor. A pleasant scene to look at all together.


Daintiness goes a long way

This particular tree is as dainty as a cat wearing ballerina slippers. Or something like that. I would compare the shape of it to a pear but it's too sleek for that. It's obviously also got a good location going for it with the Christmas town adding to the interest.
