Putting Presents Under the Christmas Tree

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Leslie Moselle and I'm Tony Ramirez and we're from Tampa Bay and on behalf of Expert Village this is how to decorate a Christmas tree. Now we're going to talk about decorating underneath your tree. You can remember this part, this is a very important part of decorating for Christmas. Everybody has their different traditions of things they like to put under their tree, maybe every year they try something new. This year what I'm doing is actually putting our fake Christmas presents underneath our tree, some people like to have their villages where they collect a new house every year. For those of you who may not have the money to do that or just not their style this is a great way to decorate your Christmas tree and have it to look like just a traditional Christmas. So basically what I've done here is all those boxes that I have accumulated over the years from all of my obsessive online shopping, I save them. Cause I love boxes and there is always a use for them down the line. So what I've done is I've taken all the boxes that I haven't found a used for and I've taken my Christmas wrapping paper and decorated them. This is a great way just to give your Christmas tree something to a little extra something while you're waiting for the real Christmas presents to come. So basically if you have your Christmas paper you have your extra boxes lying around, some extra Christmas boxes that you really don't want to use again. This is a great way to add that extra flavor and no matter how big and small this is a fun way just to decorate underneath your tree. This may not be the best idea if you have children who still believe in Santa Claus, you don't want to burst that bubble soon, some of use still in our twenties and still believe in Santa Claus. But you have to really be careful whether you want to do this with small kids but if you're all adults here this is a great way to keep them also from shaking their presents before it is time. So you want to hide all the real presents in the closet and put the fake ones out, this will really trick them especially if you want to fill them up with marbles or rocks and that will really confuse them. But hopefully you'll use this idea to decorate for Christmas and have fun."
