Tasteful Trees

With just a week to go until the big day, Christmas Trees are popping up in homes across the world together with whispers of tree snobbery - real or artificial? A riot of colours; or colour co-ordinated?

When the tradition began many centuries ago, the Christmas tree would be brought into the home and decorated with candles to remind children of the stars in the sky the night that Jesus was born and adorned with the 'gifts' of fruit and nuts. These days there appears to be a split opinion as to whether this iconic mark of Christmas should be adorned with tinsel, bright colourful baubles, lights and hung with home-made children's decorations - or at the other extreme, decorated in a single colour designed to match the decor.

The good news for retailers visiting Harrogate Christmas & Gift is it really doesn't matter! The show caters for every taste, so whatever your customers want, you can supply from the actual tree and lights right through to the star or fairy on the top.
