When it comes to decorating the family Christmas tree, it’s a battle between Instagram-perfect images and messy reality.
Parents often find themselves redoing their children’s decorations late at night to achieve a picture-perfect tree, according to a study by discount retailer QD. While most parents enjoy decorating the tree with their kids, only a small percentage leave the children’s decorations untouched for more than a few hours.
To give kids a chance to be creative, many families are putting up more than one Christmas tree this year. The pressure to create a perfect holiday aesthetic has led some parents to feel the need to spend extra money on decorations.
In response to this trend, QD has launched ‘The Messier, the Merrier’ campaign, encouraging families to embrace the imperfections of children’s decorations. The campaign aims to celebrate the unique charm that kids bring to the holiday season, emphasizing that Christmas is about creating joy and lasting memories rather than achieving perfection.
Nisha Collins from QD stated, “Christmas is about creating joy, laughter, and lasting memories that we cherish year after year, not about having a showroom perfect tree. This year, we want to encourage families to embrace the imperfections and charm that kids bring to Christmas.”
By participating in the campaign and sharing their children’s creative decorations, families have the chance to win prizes and celebrate the true spirit of the holiday season. So, this Christmas, remember that the messier, the merrier!
