Three Great Alternatives to a Christmas Tree: Some You Don't Even Have to Decorate
The Christmas tree is considered a symbol of the New Year period.
It is associated with tangerines, Olivier salad, goals and plans for the New Year. But the Christmas tree is far from the only option.
You can use more than just a Christmas tree as a holiday tree.
There are a number of plants that will cope with this role just as well.
They will definitely look more original and will bring practical benefits.
Take the fir, for example. A tree with soft needles that can outshine a spruce.
Owners of a private house or cottage can buy a fir tree in a pot, and in the spring transplant it into the garden and it will give beauty for many years to come.
The fir tree is decorated in the same way as the Christmas tree.
As for the next option, you can do without decorations. But you need to meet one condition.
We are talking about a tangerine tree with ripe fruits. Juicy fruits are a hundred times better than New Year's toys or garlands.
Another rather exotic option is the indoor plant Schlumbergera. It can become a kind of "Christmas cactus".
This plant just starts to bloom around New Year, so it makes a great decoration or gift.
Schlumbergera blooming in January promises good luck and happiness to its owner in the new year, the signs say.
