How to Put Presents under the Christmas Tree

Video Transcript

" Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm Matt Cail, and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to show you how to set up and decorate an artificial Christmas tree. The last part of decorating our artificial Christmas tree involves getting the bottom area full. You have a really good tree skirt, now you 've got to get some stuff on it. Some people will put Christmas mementos underneath their tree, pictures of relatives from long, long ago. They'll also of course, put presents; lots and lots of the good stuff...your Christmas haul this year for your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your mothers, your fathers, and generally favorite people who are well-liked. Anyway, you can also of course have things under the tree that are buried, you can have them wrapped up. This will just add and heighten. If you are really super, super, super finicky about color coordination, you can always wrap your presents in a similar shade or color that you wrapped or decorated your tree in. But for us mere mortals, we don't worry about that. You can also (if you don't have a lot of presents or anything underneath there), you could also get some poinsettas or some holly. For this I would match the artificial nature of your tree so that you don't have to worry about watering them or having them die underneath the tree. So, you can usually get these at a lot of area art and various other supply stores. You can kind of stick them under there, for again, some added Christmas effect which will basically make your tree skirt and the under area of your tree explode up into the wonderful decorating job you've already done.
