Christmas has become an occasion for homeowners to show off their decoration skills, especially those who grew up in a Christian family, like Ha Phi in HCMC’s Nha Be District. |
In addition to the Christmas tree, Phi has decorated other spaces like the dining room, kitchen and the garden for the whole family to enjoy the festive atmosphere. |
Ngo Thuy Hang, loving "the most wonderful time of the year", has decorated a duplex apartment in HCMC’s District 2 a month before Christmas. The 36-year-old mother and her daughter rearranged the living room and decorated the two-meter-high Christmas tree with string lights, ribbons and pearls. Hang also used a screen and projector to set the tree against a backdrop of a window of snow. |
Hang also spent time decorating the kitchen, dining room and piano corner. Even small items such as dishes and tablecloths were chosen to match the Christmas vibe. On social networks, many people have commented that the apartment with its baby blue tone looks like a place in fairy tale. |
Not a Catholic or a Christian, Vu Ngoc Huong Trang likes to decorate her house for Christmas. This year, the 29-year-old mother who lives in Hai Phong’s Hong Bang District has chosen to keep it simple. |
Unlike most homeowners, 33-year-old Kim Chi Tran in Hanoi’s Bac Tu Liem District did not buy a Christmas tree this year. Instead she had a wooden sculpture made. Early in December, Chi's husband bought about 60 wooden sticks and started making a handmade "pine tree." |
The tree took shape over two days. Later, Chi bought more decorations and ornaments to embellish the tree and give it a beautiful look. |
Phan Thi Thu Huong in Hanoi’s Nam Tu Liem District came up with the idea of making a paper pine tree as a way to save costs and strengthen bonds between mother and son in pandemic times. |
Huong and her son also made their own laurel wreaths of different sizes from eucalyptus, pine branches, oranges, cinnamon and ribbons. "Paper pine and laurel wreaths are made very quickly, the materials are easy to find and the cost is low, all children can participate in making them," Huong said. |
