Christmas Decor

This year for Christmas we decided to decorate with our trimmings from our Red Twig Dogwood bushes, a Mugo Pine bush we no longer wanted, and pine cones from our yard. We also used candles, some berries (I got at a garage sale this past year), and only a few of my decorations I used in the past. We haven’t put our tree up yet because we are considering buying a real tree this year. It will be the first time we ever had a real tree in 27 years. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best type of tree to buy or tips on caring for one?

This is our kitchen.
