Why opt for a Tabletop Christmas Tree

The holiday season is upon us. Don’t you just love that magical time when the snow is falling and everything is decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments? We surely do. Do you know what this means? It is time to think about decorating your home. Well, the time has almost come. If you like to have an early start, keep reading this article, because we are going to help you choose the perfect tree.

During this season, everywhere we look, we are surrounded by massive, decorated trees. Every photo we stumble upon or movie we watch on TV, there is a giant tree, that looks dreamy and that makes you want to just sit and look at it for hours. This all sounds great, right, but let’s be realistic – it usually takes half of a living room which can only work if you live in an enormous house and have a corner that is intended for the tree and decoration.

If you have small children, then you probably want to make sure that they have the whole holiday season experience, Santa and presents, and all. But, sometimes, you just have to be practical. You have to be able to function around your home because those items are going to be there for weeks to come. Due to this reason, you should consider getting a Table Christmas Tree, and we are going to tell you why.

You definitely want a live evergreen that will bring that fresh outdoorsy scent into your home, right? When you go with a big tree, there is going to be a lot of mess around it that you will have to clean every day. We have already discussed the problem of the available space in your house, our second benefit is tidiness. If you go with a big one, you can expect a lot of falling needles and sticky sap all over the place which is a big problem if you have young kids who simply cannot stay away from it. If you have already had this sort of experience and do not want to spend the entire winter cleaning, you should choose something smaller. Picking this one shouldn’t be so difficult – just visit plantingtree.com and check their offer.

Furthermore, every tree requires ornaments, right? Naturally, the bigger the tree the more decorative items you need. In most cases, this is not a problem, we all collect and keep them, plus we buy new ones every year. But if you have just moved and didn’t want to carry those boxes with you, you should go with a smaller evergreen and thus save a significant amount of money you would otherwise spend on buying embellishments.

The last benefit of opting for this type of tree is that you can plant it in your backyard after the holiday season is over. These are usually grown in small pots that can be placed anywhere in your home, and when the time comes to remove all the decorations, you can plant it in a bigger container in your garden and use it again next year. What’s more, soil, sun, and water are all they need to thrive.

To sum up, as you can see, there are many benefits of picking a smaller Christmas tree, even though we have only mentioned a few. However, this all comes down to your personal preference.
