There are many people I know who decorate with a holiday theme immediately after Thanksgiving dinner and then there are people who don't start until the last minute (aka the day before Christmas Eve). Either way, the tree is almost always the most important aspect of any Christmas decor. While some may argue the virtues over real versus faux trees, what good is it if it ends up totally naked? That's why I'm here with ornaments of all shapes and sizes that will get your tree totally covered up. From collectible limited edition Swarovski crystals to the cutest cow ornament ever, there's a whole world of ornaments out there. Add some DIY cranberry and popcorn garlands, tinsel, maybe some fake snow and you're all set to wait for Santa to deliver his presents. Take a peek at my slideshow to see them all!
Lumberjack-Inspired Looks That Don't Recall Wood Chopping... Or Pancakes

When you think of the word "lumberjack," you picture burly men heaving logs and sawing trees in half whilst in the company of a big, blue ox. In my case, I just start singing that one line in Notorious B.I.G.'s legendary song "Juicy" in my head over and over again (you know how it goes: way back/when I had the red and black lumberjack/with the hat to match). Even though those images are ingrained in our heads, the fashion community has embraced this buffalo check pattern in sartorial ways that are hip and cool. We no longer have plain log rolling red and black flannels. Instead, we have buffalo checked messenger bags, hoodies that use black and white instead of red and black and lumberjack shirts that don't say "I'm going to eat a big pile of pancakes before I chop some wood." Here are some lumberjack-chic items that may not make you as strong as the Brawny man, but will make you look like a posh Paul Bunyan.
