The Connection between Reading and Christmas Ornaments
As a bookworm, you might not think there’s any apparent connection between reading and Christmas ornaments. But look closer, and you’ll see that the two are intertwined in surprising ways. From classic literary characters like Ebenezer Scrooge to modern-day book series like Harry Potter, countless Christmas ornaments are inspired by books. These ornaments not only make for incredible decorations, but they also serve as reminders of our favorite stories and characters.
When you’re on the hunt for book-inspired Christmas ornaments, start with the public library. Many libraries have holiday displays or even sell ornaments in their gift shops. You can also search online for book-themed ornaments or even make your own by printing out images of your favorite book covers and turning them into ornaments with a bit of glue and ribbon.
Finding the Best Artificial Christmas Tree for Your Bookish Home
Now that you have your book-inspired Christmas ornaments sorted, it’s time to find the perfect artificial tree to display them on. As a bookworm, you might be drawn to trees that have a natural or rustic look, like a tree made from pinecones or one that has a woodland feel. Alternatively, you might prefer a more modern or minimalist tree, like one made from wire or one that has a geometric shape.
Whatever your aesthetic, here are some things to consider when shopping for an artificial Christmas tree:
1. Size – Make sure the tree fits in your space and is proportionate to your ornaments. If you have a lot of large ornaments, you might want a taller tree. A shorter tree might work better if you have many more miniature ornaments.
2. Material – Artificial trees come in a variety of materials, from PVC to PE to tinsel. Consider the look and feel you’re going for, as well as any environmental concerns you might have.
3. Lighting – Some artificial trees come pre-lit with LED lights, while others require you to string your own lights. Think about how much time and effort you want to put into setting up your tree.
The best type of artificial Christmas tree to buy for you is the one that fits your style, budget, and needs. And if you’re ever in doubt, just remember: the public library is always a great source of inspiration and information.
