Christmas is a time to be jolly, merry… and creative! Instead of decorating your tree the same old way, why not go for something new? Wow your guests with a tree that’s sure to be a conversation starter. So put on your ugly Christmas sweater, roll up your sleeves, take a swig of hot cocoa and get to work decorating your tree in a new way.

10 Christmas tree decorating ideas to catch Santa by surprise.

1. Star Wars Christmas tree. You can find this  (which is really just a mask) on eBay for $47.95 – OR – better yet, buy a similar mask from for $4.99. And sells a variety of Star Wars-themed Christmas ornaments. May the force be with you – and your tree – this holiday season!

3. Santa tree. Ho! Ho! Ho! This is one merry tree!
