oh Christmas tree, how to design thee

'Tis the season is almost here, which means the iconic Christmas tree will be making its rounds soon. These pointy and typically cone shaped trees are often the center piece to holiday decorations. When placed in a mall the decorations tend to be similar to the other interior colors or reflecting the mall's trademark color pallet. For public display outside they're often adorned with the brightest of lights as to shine in any weather condition and to be seen from a great distance. The main personal use of a Christmas tree is found at home, where they serve as festive centerpieces to family events. Often times a tree will reflect the family; lots of arts & crafts ornaments made by the children, or sophisticated decorations maybe indicating a more adult tree, or perhaps lots of personal ornaments depicting favorite sports team or dog breed. Then there are people who like a classic, almost 'Gestalt' tree with unifying colors, rounded uniform ornaments hung in close proximity for eye connectivity, and other decorations to make the tree look like one unit. For those who celebrate with a Christmas tree, they're often the piece which ties all the decorations together.
