Diversify your decorations by choosing balls, garlands, tinsel and toys in the appropriate color scheme. For example, choose blue, silver and white tones for a winter fairy tale, and red, green and gold shades for a classic New Year’s Eve atmosphere.
Introduce a Dragon theme by adding dragon toys or miniature Dragon symbols to your Christmas tree.
New Year’s Wreaths
