1. Tackle the Tree
Wind your twinkle lights top to bottom on the tree, and remember, you may want to put the lights and ornaments on your tree and then scoot it into a corner or up against a window so you have more room to work. Need a fun tree skirt? Look for remnants at a fabric store or a holiday table runner at a discount home store.
Give your tree a fresh look by editing your ornaments. Maybe you want a color theme, such as all red and gold; then display the rest around the house. Add fresh flowers in florist vials to your tree, and tie on ribbon loops left over from last year's packages.
