10 Unique Christmas Tree Trimmings with Sample House Candle Shop

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now it’s time to get that Christmas tree up! If you’re trying to decide how to decorate your Christmas tree this year, Sample House Candle Shop has 10 unique Christmas tree trimming ideas you’ll love!

  1. Multiple Trees

Who says you can only have one Christmas tree!? This year, try using a couple of smaller trees to not only make your larger tree pop, but to also create a complete display. Plus, if you seem to have more ornaments than tree space, having multiple trees is a great way to get all your precious family ornaments on display for the holidays.

  1. Colored Pinecones

Let’s get the whole family involved with this next one! Head to your local craft store and pick up some pinecones and paint. Then head to the backyard and get ready for a family-fun craft that will also add a beautiful, natural design element to your tree.

  1. Vintage

For a blast from the past, go thrifting and antiquing to see what little trinkets you can find. You never know what little item you’ll find that will be perfect for your Christmas tree decorations that span the decades.

  1. Galvanized Bucket Stand

Rather than sticking with your traditional tree stand, go for something different like a galvanized bucket to give your tree a more rustic, country Christmas look. A burlap bow is the perfect finishing touch!

  1. Just Glass

Now, of you have small children or pets, this may not be the best idea. However, you can never beat the beautiful simplicity of going with all glass. When the glass will really stick out is when it catches the light of your fireplace just right.

  1. Father Time

They say time stops for no man, but Father Time may sit for a minute when you decide to decorate your Christmas tree with old pocket watches and clocks. This can be another fun one that you can also get the kiddos involved with by making paper clock faces.

  1. Alphabet Tree

Perfect for the family that has young children who are starting to learn their alphabet, decorating your Christmas tree with letters from the alphabet can make decorating your tree a fun AND educational time for your young ones.

  1. Paper

Some of our ideas have already mentioned getting your family involved, but if you want to make this year’s Christmas tree decorations a true family endeavor, then you can’t go wrong with making all your own decorations out of paper! From creating paper snowflakes to little girls and boys to wrap around the tree, this can be a source of hours of fun!

  1. Feathers

Great for someone looking to have plenty of choices, feathers come in so many different colors and patterns that the decorating possibilities are virtually endless! You can couple your feathers with some colorful ribbon to really bring the decorations together.

  1. All White

There’s just something magical about an all-white tree. Whether it makes people think of a snow-covered tree (which we don’t see too often here in Texas) or just because it’s simple, all-white decorations can really make your tree pop.

For all your Christmas tree trimming needs, be sure to come by Sample House Candle Shop Southlake at the Shops of Southlake.

Central Market Southlake, How to Make an Amazing Holiday Dinner

Thanksgiving is nearly here, and that’s just the start of the great holiday season where we celebrate friends, family and all with plenty of food! If you’re in charge of the holiday dinner this year, you know that nothing is quite as important as the turkey. That’s why Central Market Southlake at the Shops of Southlake has got a few turkey tips for an exceptional holiday dinner.

Choose the Right Type of Turkey

When it comes to getting the star of the show – the turkey – you want to make sure you get the one that’s right for you. You have a few different options – Heritage, Organic, Fresh and Frozen. Depending on your preference, budget, cooking style and timeline, a different type of turkey may be more right for you. For quicker cooking, you should never go frozen.

Don’t Under or Overdo it

The last thing you want is to not have enough turkey for everyone, and while having turkey leftovers for a couple of days is great, you also don’t want to be stuck with mounds of leftovers. When thinking about how much turkey you should get, a good rule of thumb is to get 1 – 1.5 pounds of turkey per person. For example, 8 people would require a turkey that’s 12 – 14 pounds.

Keep the Stuffing on the Side

You may have memories of stuffing cooked right inside the bird, but times of changed. It’s not due to some ethical dilemma, but rather safety. By trying to cook the stuffing inside the turkey, you’re introducing it the all sorts of harmful bacteria that can be cooked out of the turkey but not the stuffing. You can still stick to the same recipe that your family has been using for years, just cook it outside the bird!

We hope these turkey tips help you create a truly wonderful holiday dinner. You can get your juicy turkey and all the fixings at Central Market Southlake!
