What is the correct order to decorate a Christmas tree?

Before you hang anything on your Christmas tree, take a few minutes to fluff it. This step will make the branches look fuller and help avoid awkward bare spots. Put the lights on first to give yourself a colorful foundation. Save yourself some hassle by untangling them completely and replacing any burnt-out bulbs. Then, start at the bottom of the tree and wind your way up. When you’re ready for the ornaments, space out your big statement pieces evenly around the tree. Smaller filler ornaments can go on the outer branches, and anything fragile should get hung near the top.

How long should you leave your Christmas tree up?

There’s no ideal time to take down your Christmas tree. It all depends on when you're ready to wrap up the holidays — and when you feel motivated to pack everything up. Many people take down their trees during the first week of January. This timing lets you enjoy your Christmas tree décor through the New Year. Then, you can start 2025 fresh with more generic winter decorations. While artificial trees can stay up all year, you’ll need to throw away a real one eventually. Most live trees last four to five weeks if properly watered before they start drying out. They can become a fire hazard, so it’s best to take them down before then.
