First off you are going to need to get a artificial Christmas tree. This is going to come with a number of branches, a main chunk and if you are lucky you may also have what would serve as a nice tree holder. So we actually don't have to go out and get a separate one. Some artificial trees would come with this included in this part of the basic package. Other ones would not, make sure and check it when you are buying your tree. In addition to that we are going to need lots of good traditional decorating stuff. We are going to need to have good Christmas lights ready to rock and roll. We are also going to have to have some really nice garland I recommend at least probably at least two strands about ten feet long for your garland. Again try to keep like a color theme going on here you know we go with some of the light blue for this. So I would get your ornaments again silver and light blue. You can do your ornaments like smaller or bigger like a basic ornament balls. No problem there.
