Christmas comes in all colors

Thomas made quick work of the bow, but then she had lots of practice.

“People say I make it look easy,” she said. “But I’ve been doing it for years and years.”

She said she has shown many people how to wrap ribbons in their trees and how to make bows in the past and some catch on to the technique better than others.

“This year is the first big year we did the netting and it’s wonderful,” she said. “The average person can do it.”

When asked what her favorite thing to work on is, she said, “making the wreaths.”

“I guess I’m wore out with trees,” she said.

Thomas said her most popular trees this year have been the flocked ones. People seemed to like the red and white ones as well, she said, and the Western theme has been a big seller too. She said the store bought a blue tree for a specific purpose.

“We bought that for UK fans then couldn’t find any UK ornaments,” she laughed.

People remain unsure about the black tree in the store, however. Thomas said it would be great to set up for Halloween with orange ornaments and then transition it into Christmas with red, white and silver ornaments against a red wall.

Of all the trees in the store this year, she said her personal favorite was the one with teal and red decorations.

“I like teal,” she said. “The teal and red one had teal birds and red birds and peacock feathers. It was beautiful.”

Thomas tends to be more traditional when decorating at home.

“I still love the good old traditional Santa Clauses,” she said. “I do my family tree in Santa Clauses.”
