You should start decorating a Christmas tree in the old style by masking its trunk. To do this, try to carefully wrap the tree trunk with white or green thick paper. You can also use fabric for these purposes. Place some cones and nuts on the folds of the fabric on the floor. But don't put them in any particular order. On the contrary, there should be a picturesque disorder. Place the figures of Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden under the tree. In principle, you can also use a Snowman figurine.
Do not forget that you are decorating the tree in the old style. And in ancient times there were no garlands and electricity. People were decorating ate with candles. But this does not mean that the experience of past generations should be used here as well. Just get a very thin, unblinking garland with small white or blue lights.
