Author's tree ... It seems that everything is simple. But, I'm sure, each with these words will present something of their own, depending on their own hobbies and preferences. Florist, puppeteer, decorator, tailor, DIY lover, even some carpenter and many, many others - everyone, with a certain amount of imagination, will surely find their own idea for a Christmas tree.

A Christmas tree can be, oddly enough, a Christmas tree and other conifers, from flowers, from felt, fabric, lace, threads, ropes, beads, maybe without toys and vice versa from only toys, without, in fact, a Christmas tree, maybe from cardboard or boards, feathers or wool, vinyl records, plastic spoons, cotton swabs, and paper stickers. In general, from everything that can turn imagination into a Christmas tree. A Christmas tree can be a soft toy, a precious figurine, or a serious art object. You can also put the tree on the floor, hang it on the wall or even on the ceiling. And all of the above will be beautiful in its own way and in its environment.

But our magazine is primarily about dolls. Therefore, I propose to look at the trees from this side.

Many puppeteers, if they did not make dolls in the image or costume of a festive tree, then at least thought about it. Famous big masters and novice artists have such dolls. And I also had a couple of Christmas trees in my life, to be honest. Because the image of a green beauty in the lights gives rise to thoughts of magic, miracles and fairy tales in us. In which you want to plunge into these winter days, like a cozy warm blanket.

What I propose to do by looking at photos of dolls in the images of Christmas trees (and with Christmas trees).

And this Christmas tree parade opens with the magnificent work of Alexandra Kukinova, a master of her craft, the founder of the gallery Alexander (www.aleksandra.ru). This is how, it seems to me, children imagine the New Year tree - a kind, generous beauty, at whose feet everyone will find their desired gift.

The Christmas tree is smaller, but just as tender and with gifts - Olga Korobova's Winter Tale (instagram @olga_korobova_artdoll).

Another sweet, touching Christmas tree girl, and also not empty-handed. The work of Dana Svistunova (instagram @da_na_dolls).

And very little ones - adorable kids of Julia wooly_july (instagram @wooly_july).

Everyone, probably, knows the fashionable Christmas trees from the creative duet AnyaManya (instagram @anyamanya_mashakolegova). Always different, but always funny, in ruffles and flounces, they surprise with an abundance of details. Among these Christmas trees there are both romantic and business people, there are Christmas trees with knitting, Christmas trees with skates and even Christmas trees with Christmas trees!

And a little Christmas tree by another beloved artist Irina Linkova (instagram @irina_linkoffa) is not just a Christmas tree, but a toy-jerk, and even with a gorgeous star on top of its head! And although today we are talking exclusively about Christmas trees, I simply could not fail to show the hipster couple of the main responsible for the Christmas trees. These Santa Claus and Snegurochka are good both with a Christmas tree and without a Christmas tree, and in general at any time of the year!

Since we started talking about Santa Clauses, their next portion is from Elvira Shilenko (instagram @elvira_shilenko). Here and grandfathers as a selection, and beauties Christmas trees, at least by themselves, at least in someone's hands!

And a few more funny Christmas trees with green pigtails. Well, those without braids - with hats. Textile dolls of Tatyana Fedotova (instagram @fetastyle) and Olga Chechetkina (instagram @ madam.kukel).

We started talking about hats and came up with probably the funniest Christmas trees in today's selection. Everything is striking in these works - the hat with bells on Lena Leshka's tree (Instagram @lenaleshka383) and knitted caps on the tops of funny Christmas trees from Julia good_and_strange (Instagram @good_and_strange), and of course their inviting gestures and undeniably life-affirming, joyful facial expressions. With Christmas trees like these, the holiday just can't go unnoticed or dull.

I wrote that I myself made a couple of Christmas trees. I will show my own, perhaps, because there are not many trees.

How do you like the Christmas trees? They are all so different, some simply fascinate with their beauty, from some a broad smile appears on the face, some I want to take in my hands and not let go. And they are all magical in their own way.

Well, in fact, every most ordinary Christmas tree, decorated with love, is already author's, and most importantly - yours. And let the decoration of the Christmas tree bring goodness and light to our homes along with the festive mood.

Best regards and best wishes for the new year, Yulia Gapunik. @yugdolls
