What are some themes for decorating a Christmas tree?

Handmade chaos : ) almost every ornament we have has been made in the past years we have a ornament making party every year and the kids decorate the tree so its lopsided, uneven ,overdecorated and the most beautiful thing in my house at Christmas : )

White lights, silver and blue ornaments, and a silver star on top.

we dont have one yet :-( my mil isnt in the mood for christmas. usully have it up day after thanksgiving

i have white lights and popcorn and cranberrys and old counrty starts and snowflakes and a long sting of counrty material tied in knotts on bailing twine....its a country christmas at my house

White lights and a big white Bethlehem star, red beads, red and gold ornaments, red and gold bows, and crystal snowflakes.

santa everything! red/gold colors, clear lights, with some 'old school' bigger bulbs-red/green. santa! santa! santa!

red and silver with candy canes hung around. I also put up ornaments made by my son. We have an angel on top.

Mine just has white lights, then red and silver bulbs, and red and silver ribbon going around it. Pretty simple!

When I was in my 20's I used to try to make my tree look like the pretty ones I would see in the mall, (cause I wanted to be in style). Now that I am older and more in tune with tradition and wanting my son to see what I saw as a child and he is 10! I have muticolored lights and since I misplaced my ornaments and my brother moved in with all his ornaments sitting in a bin (and they are cute)! My theme is, I lost my ornaments, want to remind you of my childhood, uncle has a lot of cool ornaments "theme". OUR tree is cool to us. :)

Usually we have all white lights with silver and red plain ornaments. Then any other ornaments are our tradition of each year ornaments. My husband and I our first christmas strted either buying an ornament for each other but notmally going out and picking out a unique ornament for that year. We also get one ornament a year per child that way when they move out they will have their own beginning ornament collection. However this year all of our stuff is in storage. I still think it is one of my favorite trees. My skids picked it out, strung popcorn, made decorations. basically everything. The are 13 and 11 years old and have never decorated a christmas tree before. My dh and I never knew until this year.
