Black Christmas Trees Are This Year's Gothic Trend

I have to admit when it comes to a Christmas tree, I'm a bit of a traditionalist. We have always gotten a green tree, whether it was fake or real, and then we put colorful light and ornaments on it.

But lately, I've seen lots of monochromatic ideas to decorate the tree, and I'm digging it. However, there is one concept I'm still unsure about, so check it out.

So are you the same as me, or do you like to change up your Christmas tree every year?

I see people ordering those King of Christmas trees, and I'm a bit envious. But there's one trend I've never seen before, and I wonder what you might think about it.

What if I told you that people are now putting up black Christmas trees?

Oh, yes, that's right. This isn't some kind of typo, ha, ha! It's a real thing I have seen, and I have pictures to prove it to you.

Here's what I'm talking about, folks.

Not only did this lady put up a black Christmas tree with black ornaments and tinsel, but she wrapped all the gifts in black wrapping paper, too. Oh my goodness! It's definitely something I've never seen before, ha, ha!

What do you think of that, huh?

Okay, before you freak out it seems like she's not the only one. A quick search on Instagram revealed a few of these ideas out there. This spooky Christmas decor and stockings is kind of nice, no?

And there's this idea here.

I have to admit this is one chic-looking black Christmas tree. I know some people might find it a bit grim, but there is something about it that I really like. The ornaments, for example, make it look pretty nice.

This lady here looks like she's really enjoying her black Christmas tree.

Even though gold isn't my favorite color, I like how she accented everything with it to make it more festive. The ornaments definitely pop on this unique tree.

It's pretty amazing to see how many people have embraced the black Christmas tree.

I, for one, would never have thought about this idea. But now that I see it, I wouldn't mind trying it out one day. It's kind of cool. Isn't it?

I think I have saved the best for last.

Just look at how amazing and festive this beauty shines here. The combination of white ornaments and other decorations makes this black Christmas tree come to life. I'm definitely pretty impressed here.

So let me ask you: would you consider putting up a black Christmas tree this year?

Or any other year for that matter? I'm still on the fence. The idea is really neat and all, but I'm not sure I could convince my fiancé to go for it. I think he would veto this decision here.
