GOING
FAUX
Michael prefers using
faux-fir garlands
and trees for their:
UPKEEP
Christmas season at
Michael’s house starts
December 1. He
knows his trees will last
all month and
won’t drip sap or shed.
COST
A quality faux tree
may cost around $350
up-front compared
to $75 for a real
one, but use it for five
years and you’re
actually saving money.
VARIET Y
Flocked, colored,
prelit, or musical, faux
trees come in
practically any style
you can imagine.

HOME DECORATING
GIFT WRAP
“Every year I
have a wrapping
paper theme, and
I’ve always loved
buffalo checks,”
Michael says. Gifts
wrapped in green
and white plaid
paper in the living
room, right, and in
red plaid in the
adjacent family room
(which is decked out
with a red tree)
create continuity
between rooms.
