Christmas Tree: How to make and decorate a Christmas Tree at home

Christmas tree is undoubtedly an important part of Christmas celebrations. While Christmas is celebrated to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, no Christmas celebration is complete without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and Santa Claus placing your presents under it. The festival was initially celebrated by Christians who believe Christ to be the son of God, but over the years it's now celebrated by everyone regardless of their caste and creed with full zeal.
If you are planning to celebrate this festival with your near and dear ones this winter, then here are some interesting ways of decorating your Christmas tree at home this year.
