matching ornaments on tree

Ours are matching. This year we have blue and silver decorations. Next year I think I'll do the traditional red and gold.
Growing up we always had matching, but we were always allowed to help choose the decorations.

Ours kinda matches.  Its courtesy of the warehouse so I bought all new about 5 years ago. It was all gold until I found soem green and red tinsel and thats been added and I bought some lovely ornaments when I was travelling and they are added.  No doubt its all going to turn random soon when Tom starts "creating"

Mum does the matching decorations with a different theme each year ie it might be gold & red one year; then silver & blue etc - and I have to say it looks gorgeous
I try to stick to matching decorations and not overload the tree - I've had the same decorations for a few years and just avoid getting any more

Ours is matchy, and I like it that way. I don't put up every single decoration we own each year, I just choose the ones that match the colours I want that year, and the rest can get another outing when it's their colour's turn. That said, absolutely every decoration my kids make will go on the tree, and this year there are Ella's first 2 christmas creations, which of course match nothing, but they're proudly perched right at the front. So in years to come, nothing will match at all.
