White Christmas trees make the ideal canvas for athletic Christmas decorating.
While some families gather around the tree and hang red and green or blue and silver ornaments while listening to Bing Crosby sing "White Christmas", there is a completely separate group of folks just itching to celebrate the holidays honoring their favorite teams.
These are the parents whose kids surprise them with Christmas Day game tickets, whose idea of dressing for the season includes their favorite basketball jersey, and who choose to watch sports on tv while enjoying the holiday, instead of 24 hours of The Christmas Story on TNT.
White Christmas trees are the best choice for sports enthusiasts.
Georgia Bulldog and Florida Gators ornaments and colors look bold and promising against a white background.
Only a few licensed items need to be purchased to complete the theme.
Standard glass balls in team colors such as red and black or orange and blue can be mingled with clear glass balls.
You can easily upgrade the blue and silver theme to a Dallas Cowboys theme.
Colored ribbon can be used, as well as garland and bows in team colors.
While most white trees include clear mini lights, an extremely dedicated fan can replace the clear bulbs with any colored bulb of their choice.
Watching or attending the Christmas Day NBA game is a tradition for many families.
Being able to watch the game with guests, while enjoying the magic of a well decorated tree, is the epitome of holiday cheer for some fans.
Cheering your favorite NBA team to the championships takes commitment, and using your NBA team's colors in your holiday decorating is the best way to show your team colors, and keep your family and friends in the team spirit.
