When Mark and I were first married and still in grad school, he
painted dozens of ornaments on shirt cardboard. They still have pride of
place on our trees every year. For this tree — it was 1976, when Kate
was eight and Alexa was five — we made garlands of popcorn string and
red wooden beads that looked like cranberries. They were cute, but not
cute enough for the time it took!” —

“I’m from New Orleans, and once, after a hurricane, my mother
gathered the fallen magnolia leaves and preserved them in glycerine
until Christmas,” says designer Suzanne Rheinstein. “We painted them
gold. I grew up loving the glitz of Christmas, and this tree, in my
house in Los Angeles, reflects it. It holds all of the blown-glass
ornaments my husband and I collected in the early years of our marriage,
glass beads, and the glitter-and-feather concoctions of our daughters.”
Artfully hung with Chinese silk pincushions and silk flowers designed
by floral artist Katsuya Nishimori, this Christmas tree provides a
focal point for a seasonal cocktail party and a family dinner. “I like
to encourage artists in every field. Even a tree can be a platform for
expression,” owner Alexandra Munroe says.

“After too many years of erecting a 20-foot behemoth, I’ve
simplified,” says designer Jamie Drake. “Now I get a pair of miniature
trees, put them in gold-painted terra-cotta pots — I spray them in my
garage — and place them on a console table flanking an antique mirror. I
trim them with multicolored ornaments. No lights. No muss, no fuss.
Easy to put up, easy to take down. You can’t beat that.”
Real candles give the Christmas tree in artist Clare Potter’s home an
old-fashioned charm, but for safety reasons you should use lights at
home; all-silver ornaments from
Williams-Sonoma Home delight the eye.

“We always throw a big party for about 400 people, and I started
putting trees throughout the house to get guests to circulate and not
congregate in the one room with the one tree,” say designer Barry Dixon.
“Most of them are live and in the root ball and get replanted on my
farm after the holidays, in a spot we call Christmas Tree Corner. We put
the little purple one in my niece Lauren’s room about nine years ago.
She never wanted to go to bed and leave the tree in the living room, so
she got her own. I made it purple because that went with the
lavender-print Kathryn Ireland wallpaper in her room.”
“The tree in the kitchen is edible, a tradition my mother kept when I
was growing up. It’s decorated with cookies, ribbon candy, gumdrops,
and other old-fashioned candies that people can eat right off the tree,”
says designer Barry Dixon. “The strings of popcorn and cranberries go
outside for the birds and squirrels when we’re done. I love a big,
glitzy tree, but the little ones really capture my heart every year.”
Combine a solid and striped ribbon when wrapping a skinnier tree to give it a fuller look.
